Summary

​These CMAs (2009 and 2011-12) were required in order to capture costs associated with setting up an Analytical Services Agreement between MLA and the US-based National Sheep Improvement Program, Inc.  MLA will provide NSIP with breeding values, indexes and accuracy values on animals that have been supplied by NSIP and meet the agreed data requirements. MLA will supply breeding values, indexes and accuracy values to NSIP in the following routine outputs, formatted to NSIP requirements.
