RAM COMPARE RESULTS
Robyne Hulme • 1 June 2020
In the recently released 2019 Signet RamCompare lamb crop results our EasyRam Sufftex, 6765/17, was recognised as being the highest yielding ram for gigot weight in the carcase, when assessed on the weight adjusted basis – outperforming in this category 210 terminal rams of all breeds trialled over the last 4 years.
This result vindicates the intense recording work
we have undertaken since the start of EasyRams. The use of CT scanning is a major contributor to our improving carcass quality.Over the last 7 years we have CT scanned 230 rams at the CT unit at SRUC, which we believe is the largest amount scanned by any individual private ram breeder in the UK over a similar period.
Samuel Boon, Signet manager, congratulated Robyn and Nick on their success, saying “AHDB has made major investment into services, like CT scanning over the year – as we recognise the value it adds to the industry. It is fantastic to see a breeders like Robyn and Nick, recognising what it can do for their customers – potentially lifting production by £3-4/lamb – and selecting more profitable sheep that genuinely benefit the whole supply chain”.
We are delighted to announce the arrival of our brand new 2020 EasyRams Website. This is the 4th version we have had over the last 14 years and in our opinion it is by far the most informative and sophisticated to date.
