5 FLOCK PERFORMANCE FIGURES Performance figures in the catalogue are provided by LAMBPLAN from information collected on our flock by Stefan Spiker of Advance Livestock Services, Hamilton Victoria (Ph ). The figures shown are estimated breeding values (EBV's) for growth, fat depth and eye muscle depth at post weaning (9 months). They are compared with all White Suffolk sheep in the LAMBPLAN data base. The index value shown - Carcass Plus - is a combination of the above EBV's describing the value of each ram in a breeding programme. HYPOTRICHOSIS ( HrF ) Bundara Downs takes its responsibilities as a producer of seed stock genetics for the prime lamb industry seriously. Not only do we need to provide the industry with genetics that improve profit driving traits such as growth, efficiency, yield, muscling and fertility, we have a responsibility to ensure genetic conditions that could have a negative effect on productivity are identified, managed and eliminated. When Hypotrichosis (HrF) was identified as an issue in White Suffolk's (and other breeds), Bundara Downs took the bold (and expensive) step of DNA testing our White Suffolk stud sheep resulting in a DNA tested HrF free flock. All progeny are from DNA tested HrF free sires and dams meaning there are no HrF carriers in our registered flock. Because HrF is recognised as a simple autosomal recessive trait, meaning that both parents must carry the gene for it to be expressed in the progeny, using DNA tested HrF free Bundara Downs rams or ewes and their progeny means the problem will not appear in their progeny in your flock, even if HrF is present in your flock. ~5~

6 WHITE SUFFOLK STUD HISTORY The Bundara Downs White Suffolk stud was founded in 1993 with the purchase of elite genetics from highly successful studs within Australia. From this solid foundation, we are producing high quality soundly structured rams that are making a positive impact on the prime lamb industry. To do this we evaluate our stock utilising visual assessments as well as Lambplan, weighing of lambs at birth, weaning weights, measuring muscle and fat depth at 9 months. The Lambplan data is compared across studs within Australia to give us a comparison of our performance, not just within our stud. Acquisition of leading sires has enhanced our excellent muscling and growth without restricting our genetic pool, allowing us to produce rams with varied traits to suit different production systems of our clients. In 2011 Bundara Downs joined the Super Whites group, to further increase genetic gain within the stud through access of high performing sires. ~6~

7 POLL DORSET STUD HISTORY The Bundara Downs Poll Dorset stud was founded in 2002 with the purchase of stock from renowned studs within Australia. The initial breeding program was based on artificial insemination allowing us to source elite genetics from influential studs. The Poll Dorset stud was established to allow us to diversify and cater for different production systems utilised by clients in different regions. We evaluate our stock utilising visual assessments as well as Lambplan, weighing of lambs at birth, weaning weights, measuring muscle and fat depth at 9 months. This diversity has enabled us to breed, to suit a wide range of markets within the prime lamb industry. The Poll Dorset stud produces rams with exceptional muscle while maintaining sound structure and conformation. We target sires with clean points to reduce grass seed issues as well as a smooth modern shoulder to maintain the lambing ease. In 2006, Bundara Downs joined the Meat Elite group to identify, develop and utilise superior genetics. ~7~
