An exciting new development for commercial producers will enable them to evaluate the genetic merit of their own sheep flock. By DNA testing 20 randomly selected young ewes, Sheep Genetics will be able to generate a “flock average” genetic profile for them. This information will be available on the “RamSelect” web based app and will assist commercial producers to better select rams to fit their own specific breeding programs.
