Why to record Dead Lambs at birth? When a ewe is being genetically evaluated for her maternal traits, the number of lambs she produced will effect her prolificacy, effecting her ‘number of lambs born’ sub-index, universally effecting her replacement index.

Why and how to record Lamb Vigour? Recording how quick a lamb is to get up and suckle its mother is very important. Lamb Vigour is highly correlated to Lambing difficulty and Lamb survival, two key traits in the €uroStar indexes.👇

Using DNA Combo Tags at birth? Place your genomic order BEFORE posting the samples to the lab because if not, the lab can’t process the samples and delays can cause DNA sample quality loss. The lab won’t store those samples and might need a new DNA testing
