6 A Guide to the Performance Records for Bluefaced Leicester Sheep Many factors influence the appearance of a ram - so the selection of superior stock by eye alone can be misleading. Estimated Breeding Values (EBV s) and Breeding Indexes provide the only unbiased way of assessing breeding potential. These breeding values are produced by Signet using BLUP (Best Linear Unbiased Predictor) and are calculated from an animals individual performance records as well as those of known relatives; taking into account known environmental influences (feeding, management, disease etc). Estimated Breeding Values EBV A brief explanation... Estimated Breeding Values for commercially important traits Trait name Description Look for... Eight week weight Mature size Litter size Maternal ability Scan Weight Muscle Depth Fat Depth The breeding potential for lamb growth rates from birth to 8 weeks of age. Choosing animals with high figures for this trait will increase mature size. Selection on high EBVs will increase the prolificacy of female replacements. This is the maternal component of the 8-week measurement. The higher this figure the better a ram s ewe lambs will perform as mothers (i.e. milking ability). The breeding potential for lamb growth rates to 21 weeks (age at scanning). The selection of breeding stock with high scan weight EBVs will result in animals with heavier carcases at a constant fat class or leaner carcases at a constant age. Choosing animals with high muscle depth EBVs will increase lamb muscularity and hence the lean meat content of the carcase. Negative values indicate animals with lower fat content which will produce leaner carcases or which can be taken to higher weights without becoming over-fat. High values for faster growth High values for larger mature size (and visa versa) High values for more prolific ewes (and visa versa) High values for milkier ewes High values for faster lamb growth rates High values for more muscular lambs Low values for leaner progeny (and visa versa) Breeding Indexes highlight superior breeding stock for a specific breeding objective. Lamb Growth Index A breeding index which is heavily influenced by the breeding values for lamb growth rate and muscling for Bluefaced Leicesters 4

7 Breed Benchmark Breeding values should be assessed relative to the Breed Benchmark. This table shows the breakdown of EBVs across the recorded Bluefaced Leicester breed. Bluefaced Leicester Breed Benchmark 2011 Bottom 5% Bottom 10% Bottom 25% Average Top 25% Top 10% Top 5% Eight week weight EBV Mature size EBV Litter size EBV Maternal ability EBV Scan Weight EBV Muscle Depth EBV Fat Depth EBV Lamb Growth Index It is often desirable to select animals on the basis of more than one EBV. Breeding Indexes focus on specific breeding goals and combine the appropriate EBVs in to a single figure based on their relative economic value. Genetic response 8 week weight EBV Mature size EBV Litter size EBV Maternal ability EBV Scan weight EBV Muscle depth EBV Fat depth EBV Lamb Growth Index Gain in EBVs per generation when the selection intensity is equal to 1 standard deviation (approximately the best 38% of animals selected). Further details will be available from the breeders at the time of Sale of recorded sheep as indicated in the catalogue. 5
