Apart from the LambPlus App and the Farmer Homepage – online services, breeders can do their data recordings using this printed Flock Notebook.
Afterwards, all the information will need to be loaded into the database.
For new LambPlus members or breeders who order them at the moment of signing in for the programme, we send a printed pocket version for manual recordings.
This book is provided to record information about the ewe and lamb(s) at lambing, weighing, health recording, mating and pregnancy scanning, including creating parentage information and recording some performance traits on the ewe and the lamb(s).
Flock DQI
Each flock receives a flock Data Quality Index (DQI) score. This rates each flock on the quality, quantity and the timeliness of the data submitted to Sheep Ireland over the previous 365 days. A high DQI will be required in order to enter the Sheep Ireland Elite €uroStar Multi-breed Ram Sale. You can check your flock DQI on your Sheep Ireland account homepage.
