By utilising the best genetics available, herd and flock performance and profitability can be significantly improved.
Selecting breeding stock with high performance figures is widely recognised as the single most effective tool for increasing economic returns or efficiency of livestock production. Essentially, this is achieved by identifying the best performing animals on weight gain, conformation, maternal value and in the case of cattle calving ease.
Research has shown that by selecting bulls with superior performance figures can result in an extra £47 per calf. Similarly, using a ram with superior performance figures can result in an extra £3 per lamb.
