In 2022, as part of the CPT Natural Mating program, Sheep Ireland purchased 13 rams to be mated with the CPT Ewes.

FORRESTHILL FERRIS is a Texel ram lamb bred by LambPlus breeders ANN & ROBERT O’MAHONY who currently resides in CPT farmer JOHN LARGE’s farm in County Tipperary. This is an outstanding ram lamb who is a double 5-star and in the top 2% within his breed for both Replacement and Terminal Indexes.

FORRESTHILL FERRIS has a Euro value of €1,88 in his Replacement Index and €2,91 in his Terminal Index, with very good accuracies of 73% and 74% respectively. This ram lamb is 5-star for Daughter Milk and Survivability, and 4-star for No of Lambs Born, with accuracies above 67% in all indexes. He is also 5-star and in the 1% top Texel rams for his Days to Slaughter Index, at -15,5 days with a very good 79% accuracy.

FORRESTHILL FERRIS is taking part in the CPT natural mating this year and will be joining a team of other ram lambs who will be put into a group of 100 ewes. The progeny produced by him will be DNA parentage verified to him and to their respective dams. All performance data of his lambs will be captured throughout the year in the CPT program in 2023.
