Eight rams are included in 2021 New Armatree Sire Team
Key points
-
Eight rams are included in the 2021 New Armatree Sire Team
-
All sires in the team have been through a rigorous selection process both for physical and genetic traits.
-
All sires have been selected to add to our breeding objective.
-
All sires have been genotyped. This is particularly important for when we are choosing young rams so that we have higher accuracy ASBVs to select on at a younger age.
-
Physical criteria that sires entering our team must conform on include:
-
Teeth and Jaws – these have to be correct even as an adult
-
Feet and Toes – Short, Sharp toes that require little to no maintenance
-
A balanced wool style - this is a trait important to the first-cross ewe buyer
