At New Armatree we embrace technology that will advance the business,

including the stud.

 

  Technology adoption includes:

​

  • MATESEL – A computer-based mating selection tool.

  • BreedElite – An advanced computer program for the collection of Data.

  • AUTO DRAFTER – Allows us to combine the information within BreedElite and select using EID and ASVB’s or if we choose draft on weights.

  • Lambplan – Provides the Stud with information on individual animals that are ranked across the Border Leicester Breed. A Selection tool we use to meet our Breeding Objectives.
