Gromark Genetics rams are bred to suit commercial producers breeding objectives and thus maximise their $ per hectare return Gromark Genetics developed as easy care, performance recorded sheep with good growth, carcase and fertility, white crimped wool and easy lambing to suit a variety of prime lamb production systems. We originally chose the Gromark as a self-replacing maternal prime lamb breed to allow control over the direction of genetic progress, productivity and management on farm. We were not happy with the performance of the first-x ewes we had at the time. We have been breeding sheep for over 30 years. With our change to the Gromark we measured specific performance traits and submitted all data to the Meat Sheep Testing Service which later became LAMBPLAN. We continue to focus and make gains on the main maternal characteristics of fertility, milking and mothering ability and ease of lambing for lamb survival. Research has established that the selection of the best maternal genetics for your lamb production enterprise means considerably more $$$$ profit. Two rams were selected for the Maternal Central Progeny Test run at Cowra and Rutherglen research sites. Yangoora Gromark sired 2000 drop maternal ewes were 4th in profitability/dse/year across all breeds that year (over 15 breeds). Those ewes also bred lambs that were trait leaders for eye muscle. While pursuing genetic progress we place emphasis on conformation and structure. All sheep are classed by an independent sheep classer. Careful introduction of Elite Poll Dorset Genetics since 2002 gives us the best results for the balance of traits for growth, fat and muscle for meat production. Although Gromark Genetics rams now generally have 60 to 75% Poll Dorset in the background they have a light forequarter, good neck extension and smaller head than traditional terminal sires. When our rams are joined to Merino ewes, they have easier lambing than the traditional terminals but have good carcase advantages, open faces, bare points, no pigmented fibre and minimal medulated fibre. Flystrike is rare and we only crutch sheep, never mules them. Ewes that can lamb early, easy lambing with good growth and carcase conformation and more lambs weaned are key areas for productivity. The performances in these areas are supported by the LAMBPLAN ASBV s shown in the catalogue. Our goal is to breed rams to best suit client requirements. That depends on their sheep enterprise and what they expect from that enterprise. The information from Australian Sheep Breeding Values ASBV s as measured traits help producers achieve their own goals and aim higher. 2

Gromark Genetics Rams can offer lamb producers more choices to suit a range of enterprises With a strong focus on maternal characteristics as well as meat traits, structure and white crimped wool, producers like the versatility of Gromark Genetics rams. Within the 75 rams offered they can be used in the following enterprises: 1. Some rams will be successful terminal sires over Merino ewes, with easy lambing (shown as Term/Merino in the recommendations). 2. Also over Merino ewes, certain rams can be used as maternal sires to breed high performing maternal prime lamb dams (shown as Mat/Merino in the recommendations). Breeders who do this prefer the Gromark Genetics rams to the traditional first-x sire. They gain $10 extra on the wool cut of the cross which is around 23 or 24 micron. Producers like the fast growing meaty terminal wether from either enterprise and can choose to keep or sell the ewe as a preferred Prime Lamb Dam. 3. Certain rams can be used as a terminal sire over Maternal ewes e.g. over the traditional First-x or any other maternal ewes (shown as Term/Maternal in the recommendations). Producers want a high percentage of lambs weaned to ewes joined that have the right carcase make and shape for the target market with good growth and skin. 4. Other rams are ideal for self-replacing maternal breeding of fertile prime lamb dams (shown as Maternal/Maternal in the recommendations). These easy care ewes have white wool and a quick growing wether with the right make and shape for the meat market. Ewes that are Prime Lamb Dams do not need to be large ewes that require more feed. They need to be fertile, easy care and efficient with good mothering and milking ability to produce lambs that have good fat and muscle balance, good early growth and preferably raise twins to weaning. Gromark Genetics Rams used for self-replacing maternal breeding can achieve this. Recommendations Recommendations for rams that may suit your own enterprise are next to each ram. The abbreviations for ram uses are: 1: Terminal out of Merino ewe = Term/Merino or Term/Mer 2: Maternal out of Merino ewe = Maternal/Merino or Mat/Mer 3: Terminal out of any Maternal ewe = Term/Maternal or Term/Mat 4: Maternal out of Maternal ewe e.g self-replacing or an existing maternal ewe = Mat/Maternal. 3

Lambplan Australian Sheep Breeding Values are as simple as ASBV Ram buying decisions have a lasting impact on the profitability and sustainability of your sheep enterprise. Selecting rams to improve genetic gain in the key traits that meet your breeding objectives will drive a strong economic return. PERFORMANCE PAYS. Ram breeders use LAMBPLAN to objectively benchmark their animals performance with other ram breeding flocks and select sires to improve their production system and meet client targets. Australian Sheep Breeding Values ASBV s are an estimate of an animal s true breeding value based on pedigree and performance recorded information on measured traits. LAMBPLAN ASBV s require a certain standard for linkage across other sheep flocks and are reported with accuracies. Without accuracies reported they are only Flock Breeding Values. There are Terminal and Maternal datasets for LAMBPLAN. Our data runs on the terminal dataset so our ASBV s can be directly compared with all other sheep measured as Terminals. We also measure maternal traits in our flock as clients like to use some rams as preferred Maternal sires and others clients like a self-replacing maternal prime lamb production for greater efficiency. Our focus on crimped white wool is an important advantage. 4

We measure the following production traits: Recording is ongoing and submitted to LAMBPLAN Live weight ASBV s show genetic merit for growth quoted in kilograms and are available for: A. Birth weight: BWT We weigh and tag every lamb at birth with a full pedigree of known sire and dam. Lower birthweight values will produce lighter birthweight lambs. All ewes have been pregnancy scanned for singles and multiples. We also record mothering ability, sex, single or multiple birth, any dead lambs. B. Weaning weight : WWT ASBV s (100 days) C. Post Weaning weight: PWT ASBV s (200 days). Post Weaning Fat: PFATdescribes the fat depth of an animal at constant weight. A more negative ASBV for PFAT means a genetically leaner animal. Fat is important for finishing lambs for the trade market especially when rams are used over Merino ewes. Breeders are not choosing rams with a highly negative fat ASBV (PFAT). Post Weaning Eye Muscle Depth: PEMD describes the animal s genes for EMD on the loin at a constant weight. Trevor Pearce is an accredited LAMBPLAN muscle scanner to ultrasound scan both the fat depth, eye muscle depth and take live weight for data collection from electronic tags on each lamb for submitting to LAMBPLAN. More +ve ASBV s for EMD means genetically thicker-muscled animals with more of their lean tissue in the higher priced meat cuts. Number of Lambs Weaned: NLW % describes genetic merit for reproduction and lamb survival. It is also lowly heritable so very it is very useful to measure. Rams with more +ve NLW ASBVs will sire daughters that wean a higher % of lambs. This is important for fertility and lamb survival to weaning. A ram with an ASBV for NLW of 4 will sire daughters which, on average, will wean 2% more lambs. Scrotal Circumference SC: Rams with higher scrotal circumference SC ASBV s will sire daughters that are on average more fertile. Maternal Weaning Weight: MWWT ASBV is a combination of a ewe s ability to provide a better maternal environment and have higher milking potential. Rams with more positive MWWT ASBV s will produce daughters that wean heavier lambs. Greasy Fleece Weight is taken on all weaner lambs that had their lamb fleece shorn at weaning. We select for a white crimped wool with no black or medulated fibre. Dressing Percentage: All rams are trait leaders for dressing percentage. 5

We encourage all commercial breeders to be clear about their on farm breeding objectives. Then you can select from the catalogue those rams with the traits that will best fit your goals. Conformation and structure are important but no one can just look at an animal and see what genes it carries. That is why we have been measuring traits in LAMBPLAN since it began to offer ASBV s as a tool from the world s best genetic evaluation system for sheep. Please ask us about any aspects you want explained. DNA testing leads to more accurate selection and faster rates of genetic gain in studs. Sheep Genetics has a single step analysis to incorporate genomic data Until 2016 all genomic test information was incorporated into ASBVs using a blending approach combining pedigree based estimated breeding values with genomic breeding values from separate analyses to create a blended ASBV. Now the single step analysis combines genomic and pedigree information with performance records in a single model to calculate ASBVs for all traits in the model. 6

Indexes used in catalogue New indexes were introduced with a focus improving both eating quality and lean meat yield for terminal sire breeders. Very few Poll Dorset sire lines have good eating quality identified so it is early days with work in progress. All our rams are trait leaders for dressing percentage. We present the LEQ index in our catalogue: LAMB 2020 + EQ Index (LEQ) is a new index targeted at terminal producers interested in improving the meat eating quality of their prime lambs while continuing to improve production in a balanced way. It focuses on a production target where birthweight (BWT) and Worm Egg Count (WEC) are important in the breeding objective. As we have very low worm issues on farm we do not need to measure WEC as an ASBV on farm so our LEQ vlaue will not include the WEC component unless it is through a link sire. We also present the Maternal Carcase Production (MCP) Index A growing proportion of our ram clients choose Gromark Genetics Rams to use: 1. as Maternal sires instead of the traditional Border Leicester, composite or terminal sires which may not be selected for maternal traits [so they are taking a gamble] 2. for their own self-replacing Maternal prime lamb production For both these enterprises producers like the bonus of white crimped wool with no black or medulated fibre to give higher returns to cover shearing costs, wool sales and skin values. The Maternal Carcase Production (MCP) is a new index which ranks animals on their suitability for a self- replacing system with a carcase production focus. This balances the main economic traits relevant to maternal breeders and assumes no mating to terminal sires. Many traditional first-x ewes are too large. This aims to maintain adult weight at current levels to breed more efficient prime lamb dams.

WHAT ABOUT WOOL? The Gromark wool is a 56 count and white without black or medulated fibre. Introduction of Poll Dorset genetics (known for its Downs wool) since 2002 meant we had to keep a close eye on wool quality. Over the years with Neville Mangelsdorf doing the classing for structure and wool we have kept a white crimped wool and not introduced any other breeds except for the Poll Dorset and that is why we are now called Gromark Genetics. Our sheep have very low susceptibility to fly strike. We only crutch and shear our flock, over 30 years, used no fly prevention and have never mulesed. We have never had lice, ever. When Merino breeders use our rams over their excess Merino ewes they like: The structure of the lambs for the meat market Easy lambing because of our focus on birth weight but still have good early growth and balanced muscle and fat distribution The wool on the Merino/Gromark Genetics cross brings greater return which was $10 more per fleece last year, so would be higher now That we do not want any black or medulated fibre in our flock 8

Wool on the Merino/Gromark Genetics cross is around 23, 24 micron which brings better return than the broad Border/Merino 1st X The Merino/Gromark Genetics ewe is a superior prime lamb dam which is important as the dam contributes 50% to the performance of the prime lamb Dedicated prime lamb producers who focus on an efficient prime lamb mother and not just the terminal sire only gain from greater returns Gromark Genetics sheep are ideal for a self- replacing maternal prime lamb enterprise Some breeders using composites have now moved to Gromark Genetics because these efficient easy care sheep breed a consistent type with good returns for both meat and wool. 10 month old ram with 7 months wool.

YANGOORA Gromark Genetics Rams More choices for lamb. We have a strong focus on maternal characteristics as well as meat traits. Gromark Genetics are ideal for a self- replacing maternal prime lamb enterprise. They are easy care, have a clean face and legs, rarely get fly problems and have a white crimped wool suited to higher rainfall areas. We do not mules or jet our flock. Good autumn lambing, preferred carcase conformation, easy lambing with good growth as well as more lambs weaned to ewes joined are key areas of our breeding program. Ram clients like the versatility of Gromark Genetics and more joining choices for their on farm sheep enterprise. Thank ewe! - the important part of the prime lamb team. 31
