Records of the top 25 are produced in the annual booklet. Both One Stop Ram Shop rams (3091/03 and 2097/11) were in the top 20 for growth and meat value indeces combined. They have also been placed for growth index (twice), progeny meat value (once), weaning weight (twice), dag score ebv (once) and top twenty for meat and growth (twice).these trials are scientifically perfect. They are an indicator of merit (or not) of the trialed sires. That OSRS terminal sires have perfomed in the top twelve percent of 153 tested terminals is creditable and proves selection policies at OSRS result in greater financial rewards. 2016, OSRS 2033/14 and 2507/14 were in the Next Generation Flock (NGF) terminal ram trial at Maraetotora, Hawke s Bay gave excellent results too. 2018, OSRS 2067/16 and 2250/16 have been entered. 4 Otago Sale Venue Farm Location Homestead TMG OBJECTIVES PRIMARY To put more money in farmer s pockets. SECONDARY Establishing meat as a specialist branded product distinct from commodity sheepmeat. Facilitating store stock sales of both breeding and finishing sheep within the North and South Island.

Why does NZ, which produces plenty of manure and compost, import the stuff? Why does urban pollution get ignored and rural pollution become every bodies concern? Why is it necessary to keep food prices low when all the costs of producing it climb annually? Why do farmers grizzle (including OSRS) at the wool price when it is an out-of-date fibre? Why is there no cure for Facial Eczema after research spanning decades and millions spent? Why aren t Landcorp farms balloted to qualified, enthusiastic young farmers? Why are sheepmeat returns not higher? Only 1.2 million tonnes are traded worldwide. It s rare! Why doesn t Trump visit top city Wellington and OSRS and learn all foreigners are not terrorists? Why does anybody get upset about hacking? Everyone knows airwaves are not private! LOTS OF WHYS Why does the simple game of rugby have complicated rules that no-one can comprehend? Why do rural papers accept biased articles from vested interests when evidence-based science is needed? Why does transparency go when spending other people s money(opm)? Wellington; Shelly Bay developments. Why doesn t the sheep industry acknowledge that the clever use of 1987 new genetics by farmers led to the massive increase in sheep productivity in the absence of any contribution from science or research? Climate change did help too Why can t Environment Plans be applied to all business s? Dentists pollute with mercury and antibiotic waste. Lawyers produce masses of hot air. Why does the US spend US$1854 and Australia US$ 982 per citizen on defence? Why does Wellington city rank first as having the best quality of life? Why? Because it does! Information farmers need to know: David Meade farms OSRS Quarter ewes at picturesque Tadmor, Nelson. Surprisingly the area had quality feed over summer 2016 when the rest of NZ was frying. Winter was kind too. 357 ewes were tupped. Many were old, being 2010 born. Seven only died over winter. Scan results were OK at 166%. Five were dry. 188 had twins and 15 had triplets; a typical result for this genotype. The triplet bearing ewes were farmed on their own, sharing their feed only with a few cattle. At weaning, about day 110, three ewes (born 2011) had reared their lambs. Nine lambs; three rams (31-33.5 kg, liveweight) and six ewes (28.5-41.5 kg liveweight). Ewes were weighed. Ewe A, weighed 65.5 kgs liveweight. Total weight of her lambs was 93.5kgs Ewe B, weighed 64.5 kgs liveweight. Total lamb weight was 94.5kgs Ewe C, weighed 71.5 kgs liveweight. Total lambs weight was 116kgs These ewes are typical of the stabilised sheep farmed by OSRS for thirty years. Ordinary NZ sheep? No they are not. They look similar but they have totally different genetics. David Meade has exhibited their productivity spectacularly. He had the threat of worms, drought, facial eczema, aging, just like all neighbouring farmers. No special treatment yet the productivity was very special.

Artist of the Limehills School Xmas card (top right) sent OSRS for gifting two rams for the school flock. OSRS, Waimumu Children, teachers and parents from Norsewood District School visited to learn about what sheep-farmer s work involves. A fun day with many questions. The day was a YFC initiative. OSRS. 23 May 2018 6 Information above is significant as it comes from an OSRS flock in Nelson. Each flock is managed differently from other OSRS flocks elsewhere in NZ. Data collected has influence upon OSRS breeding programmes. OSRS wishes to place more flocks about NZ, especially in the SI. Any farmer interested please contact Robin to discuss options.
