Over the past 5 years, Sheep Ireland has been purchasing rams for use in natural Mating on a proportion of the CPT ewes.
After testing the rams, Sheep Ireland offers a unique opportunity for farmers and Breeders in particular to purchase some of these proven genetics.
All of their progeny have been genotyped and performance recorded, with replacements being retained within the CPT. Buyers can be confident in purchasing these high-star index rams as there is a large quantity of information and accuracy that make up their star ratings.
This year, at Sheep 2025, farmers and breeders will be able to view each of them before the final selection for sale.
Viewing date: June 21st, from 10 am at Teagasc Mellows Campus in Athenry, Co. Galway.
Sheep Ireland will be showing 11 rams pre-selected for sale. These rams have all had 1,010 progenies (between 69 and 138 progenies each), that have all been intensively performance recorded on the past one to two years and have maintained their high €uroStar rating.
