Savernake Solid Muscle
Bentley Figurine
In 2002 and 2003 we used a Pullen ram 100N by Stockston Supersire 97, whose dam was by Home Sweet Home, a UK breeding.
We have used home bred rams progeny of the breeding listed above over the last twelve years and we will be importing semen from the UK again in 2010. We select the UK rams based on high EBV in the individual and their progeny. The EBVs of the UK testing scheme take into consideration meat content, fat cover, weight gain at 8 and 20 weeks, maternal traits, and fecal egg scores. All rams used since 1996 had scrapie resistence of AARR RR, which is highly resistent.
