Texel RamPlus

  • The four Texel Rams that have been selected for the Texel RamPlus are listed below; if you click on their names it will take you to their evaluations on the Ram Search. Frozen Semen is now available from these rams at a subsidised rate of €5 per dose. For breeders that use this semen to inseminate their ewes the cost of AI will also be subsided by €5. By using semen from these rams it will help to increase the genetic linkage of the flocks, therefore leading to more stable evaluations in future. All the rams also have a very high €uro-Star rating so it will also help to increase the rate of genetic gain in the flocks.
  • If you are interested in using some of these rams please call us on 1850 601 901 and delivery of the straws can be arranged.
