SGA Ram Breeder's Guide Review (Rural Solutions)

Summary

To review the current Breeders Guide and review updated material written for the Ram Breeders Guide. The Breeder's Guide is a document that was first developed by MLA for LAMBPLAN, Merino Genetic Services (MGS) and KIDPLAN members. The guide includes information on the basic principles of population genetics, data collection, calculation of EBV's and their application. It has been provided to help breeders understand the genetic evaluation system used by LAMBPLAN, MGS and KIDPLAN. However, due to the launch of Sheep Genetics Australia (SGA) the guide is now out of date in some aspects and it is necessary to update it as it is an integral document for members of SGA.
