uation Explanation Page
Important: The Pedigree Information printed in this catalogue is as s upplied by or on behalf of the breeder. The responsibility for the accuracy of the information therefore rests solely with the breeder and not Sheep Ireland.
Evaluations should never be the only tool you use when selecting animals for breeding. Animals must also be examined to ensure the animal is also physically correc t; an animal that is not physically correct (ie. mouth, feet, etc.) cannot compensate for this fault regardless of its evaluation and should be avoided for breeding purposes. See below how to interpret the
uroStars How to interpret them
Each star represents where the animal ranks on each index in 20% bounds
One star represents the bottom 20% of the breed for that trait
Five star represents the top 20% of the breed for that trait
The higher the stars, the higher the predicted profitability of that animal
Animals that only have the outline of a star represent animals that have within flock evaluations, this means the star rating of these animals cannot be compared to any other animals from a different flock.
Rank
This figure indicates more precisely where the animals rank within the breed. eg. Top 1 6% (see example below)
This is displayed with a shaded line, the further to the right these are on the scale, the better its position within the breed.
Acc% (Accuracy%)
This figure is very important as it represents the amount of data behind each evaluation. Where Acc% is low, much less emphasis should be placed on the evaluation, and vice versa. Accuracy is displayed for the Replacement & Terminal Indices. It is not displayed for the four sub-traits. If an animal has high accuracy on Replacement & Terminal, it will be high accuracy across all traits.
Ancestry Information
Acc% parameters
V.Poor, 0% - 19% Poor, 20% - 34% Fair, 35% - 44% Good, 45% - 59%
V.Good, 60% and above
1) Replacement ( 3.44) If a farmer desires a ram to breed both lambs both for slaughter and replacement ewe lambs then they should select a ram based on this index. The bulk of this index is a combination of Lamb Survivability, Days to Slaughter, No. of lambs born & Daughters mi lk. The value beside the index represents the difference in profit that each lamb sired from this ram will have. This value is an across breed value, so different breeds can be compared to each other.
2) Terminal ( 2.86) If a farmer desires a ram to breed only lambs for slaughter then they should select a ram based on this index. The bulk of this index is a combination of Lamb Survivability and Days to Slaughter. The value beside the index represents the difference in profit that each lamb sired from this ram will have. This an across breed value, so different breeds can be compared to each other.
3) Lamb Survivability This ranks animals based on lambing ease and lamb survival rate. Every positive % point on this index is an extra lamb surviving to 40 days and vice versa.
4) Days to Slaughter This ranks animals on their genetic ability to grow. The index associated with this trait represents the difference in the predicted number of days required for the progeny of this ram to reach the desired slaughtered weight compared with other animals of the same breed.
5) No. of Lambs Born This ranks animals based on the predicted prolificacy of the females from this animal compared with other animals of the same breed.
6) Daughters Milk This ranks animals based on the predicted milking performance of their daughters compared with other animals of the same breed.
