An Investment in Breeding
Farm trials and research work have consistently shown a financial benefit in using rams with superior EBVs. Typically these benefits have been £2 to £3.50 per finished lamb and considerably more where female replacements are retained. A high EBV ram that increases returns by £3/lamb could be worth an extra £600 over his working lifetime.

£3 per lamb benefit x 70 lambs per year x3 working years. Extra = £630 lifetime benefit. |
