1 Signet Update
2 Presentation 1. Signet overview 2. Combined Breed Analysis 3. RamCompare 4. Raucous applause
3 Signet Role Provide genetic evaluations to sheep and beef producers to identify animals with superior breeding potential. Enables the industry to capitalise on genetic improvement
4 Signet Activities 1. Performance Recording Services Sheep Cattle (those that need us) 2. Knowledge transfer relating to Breeding and Genetics 3 Research and development RamCompare & Beef Feed Efficiency
5 Beef Recording Breedplan Aberdeen Angus Beef Shorthorn British Blue Charolais Devon Hereford Saler Simmental South Devon Welsh Black Signet British Blonde Highland Lincoln Red Red Poll Stabiliser Sussex Luing (Pilot) Longhorn (Pilot) Direct (Same Signet Approach) Limousin

11 Where next for Terminal Sire Recording? Combined Breed Analysis
12 Performance recording has been a great success... High rates of genetic gain for growth and carcase traits
13 Success Breeders are using EBVs to add value to ram sales Increase in demand for recorded rams Commercial understanding is increasing (but still a long way to go) Number of flocks recording is limited and hence industry impact could be higher
14 Challenges Breeding Values are getting bigger... Is it time to rebase?
15 Challenges Breeders are looking for more regular BLUP information 3 runs a year is limiting More crossbred animals and crossbred flocks are looking for useful EBVs Current BLUP solutions are limited
16 Index / EBV Current approach
17 Index / EBV Current approach Charollais Suffolk Texel Meatlinc
18 Index / EBV Across breed approach Charollais Suffolk Texel Meatlinc
19 Combined breed evaluations What are other people doing? UK Dairy Evaluations Everyone in one pot, but breeds reported separately Lambplan Combined runs for Merino + Rest Sheep Ireland (future?) SIL Central Progeny Test ICBF Beef in Ireland Starting with a simple approach doesn t preclude more advanced solutions in the future
20 Advantages (potentially) More regular EBV updates More efficient use of money to produce EBVs More accurate EBVs for crossbreds Greater accuracy values for all Clearer message for commercial producers Even greater interest in top end genetics
21 Independence Within breed rankings remain EBVs across breeds Need to look at breed specific indexes Breed specific genetic group solutions For those not interested in other breeds not really an issue business as usual
22 Summary Results from research on Combined Breed Analysis to be released at November 2015 SBRT With a view to introducing service in 2016

24 Experimental design RamCompare is aiming to establish a commercial progeny test for terminal sire breeds Data will enable a comparison of the commercial performance of progeny by genetically different rams
25 RamCompare Project runs for two breeding seasons Starts May 2015 Commercial progeny testing Six flocks across GB Using AI and single sire mating Testing 67 rams over two years Texel, Suffolk, Charollais, Meatlinc and Hampshire Down Balanced across top 20% for carcase traits Aims Use commercially collected data in genetic evaluations Could help validate Combined Breed Analysis
