EBV Eight week weight Scan weight Muscle depth

A brief explanation The breeding potential for lamb growth rates from birth to 8 weeks of age.

The breeding potential for lamb growth rates to 21 weeks (age at scanning).

Choosing animals with high muscle depth EBVs will increase lamb muscularity and hence the lean meat content of the carcase.

Fat depth

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.

Gigot

Breeding value highlighting animals with superior breeding potential for gigot shape.

Terminal Sire Index

Highlights superior breeding stock for a speciďŹ c breeding objective.

INDEX TO CONSIGNORS *All these flocks have cross referenced performance figures available in this catalogue.

MOVE TO LATER, PASTURE-BASED LAMBING ALLOWS FLOCK TO EXPAND WITH MINIMAL LABOUR AND ZERO CAKE INPUT - Article by Rumenco When Will Norton returned to the family farm after university, he and his father Phil sat down to review the business and plan for the future. Four years on, the Nortons who are based at Culmington Farm near Ludlow in Shropshire, have been able to both expand and simplify their sheep enterprise to integrate low cost lamb production with developing arable and contracting enterprises.

Culmington Farm is now home to 950 Lleyn/Welsh Mule crosses that lamb tightly outside at grass in the first half of April with minimal labour input. “Five years ago we were struggling with the sheep enterprise. We were lambing in January to try and capitalise on the early lamb trade, but feed costs were high and our grass was not coming early enough.” Phil Norton says.

But a discussion with David Thornton from Rumenco and feed merchant Charlie Prince based in Ludlow opened the Nortons’ eyes to the potential of a move to a lower input flock management system. “With David’s help we decided to invest in an ‘easy-care’ type sheep enterprise and it has allowed us to expand the flock significantly, whilst at the same time releasing time when we need it to develop our other enterprises,” Will comments.

“We now think Lleyn cross Texel ewes back to a Charollais tup – are the way forward. Last spring, we managed to lamb 798 ewes at grass within 18 days, with minimal intervention and zero concentrate input. The lambs are fit and strong too and are generally up on their feet sucking very quickly.”

To ensure ewes receive the necessary feed supplementation, the Nortons now rely heavily on Lifeline Lamb & Ewe for its ability to balance what’s missing in the grass for the ewes, and the extra nutritional benefits it delivers for the unborn lambs. “Lifeline improves ewe vitamin and mineral status, promotes an easier lambing, and boosts colostrum quality and unborn lamb nutritional status.” David Thornton points out. “Immunoglobulin content is an important measure of colostrum quality that infers passive immunity to disease in young lambs. As all shepherds know, healthier lambs have increased feed intake and growth rate, show improved early vigour and general health, thrive and are less likely to suffer from conditions such as coccidiosis, hypothermia and mis-mothering.”

The triple-bearing and yearling ewes gain access to Lifeline feed blocks from six weeks prelambing, which provide some additional protein (18%) in addition to the micro-element package. This is particularly important for the yearlings as they are still growing and will need a good milk supply at lambing. Cost works out at around £5.84 per ewe. The lower protein (12%) bucket-based form of the supplement is fed to the twins from four weeks pre-lambing and to the singles from two weeks before. Supplementation cost for these two groups averages out at about £3.57/ewe. No concentrates are fed at all.

“The use of Lifeline has really allowed us to maximise the flock expansion potential of lambing outside,” Will says. Quite apart from the easier lambing season it seems to promote, the lambs also seem to get off to a flying start and really take advantage of the spring grass.
