Sheep Recording

Why Record Your Sheep?

Potential ram buyers use Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs) to identify rams with superior breeding potential.

EBVs provide a recognised way to add value to your sheep and improve your flock.

There are two main reasons to record with Signet:

1. Improve your marketing

  • At sales – where there is an increasing commercial demand for EBVs
  • From home – where EBVs can support the breeding claims of homebred rams
  • Online – where rams and semen sales can be promoted using EBVs.

2. Improve your flock

  • With an independent and accurate assessment of carcase traits
  • With EBVs for traits of commercial and economic importance
  • If you want to take your flock forward, add value to your breeding stock and promote your genetics, then start recording with Signet.

 

Signet's Sheepbreeder Service

Sheepbreeder is a performance recording service for sheep producers.

Through the analysis of pedigree and performance records a range of Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs) and Breeding Indexes are generated to help sheep producers identify genetically superior rams and ewes.
