Choosing animals with high figures for this trait will increase mature size. 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. Breeding value highlighting animals with superior breeding potential for gigot shape (EBV only produced for breeds involved in CT scanning). Highlights superior breeding stock for a specific breeding objective. 4
