EBLEX Open Evening hosted at Glebe Farm

On the 5th of August we hosted an EBLEX open evening.  The release of the Signet recorded figures on the 4th of July, revealed that our rams have excelled by comparison to other breeders, with 12 of our home bred rams out of the 24 appearing on the first page and 15 of those 24 were sired by Ortum rams. We welcomed many of you to this event and spent much time explaining the financial advantages of using these rams. For information about this event please see below.

The EBLEX open evening hosted at Glebe Farm on 5th August was a most informative meeting, I explained the history of our flock to the present date and Carol Davies discussed the advantages of using EBV's. Approximately 30 sheep breeders atteneded and were very interested in the figures of the Ortum flock.

Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs) are predictions of an animal's genetic merit, based on available performance data on the individual and its relatives.
