Why to use the Ram Report?

Using the Ram report you can easily compare how each of the rams performed in your flock.

You can select between Lambing and Weights data.

By selecting Lambing, you can find a lambing summary for all the sires that produced lambs in the current season.

This table displays all the rams you used for your progeny, along with how many lambs each ram produced and the average lambing traits for those lambs.

The header of each of these columns is sortable. For example, if you click on the Birth Weight header, this will sort the results based on average birth weight across each ram’s progeny — from heaviest to lightest or vice versa.

This report makes very simple to highlight which bloodlines might be affecting the mortality or lambing difficulty. This data helps breeders make informed decisions when selecting animals.

We also provide this data as a chart so you can compare your rams against each other even easily. If you want to display the data of a bar, just move the mouse over it.

By selecting Weights, you can find a weights summary for all the lambs produced by each sire in the current season.

Lambs are not always exactly i.e. 40 days old when weighed. Some might be 40 days, some might be 38 days, and some might be 43 days old. We show adjusted weights, which means we try to estimate what the weight would have been at exactly 40 days of age. This is the same for 100-days weights and 150-days weights.

We also provide this data as a chart. You can find the average weights figures for 40-100-150 days. This is a great tool for identifying the best sires based on lambs weights performance.
