Introduction

The Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs is pleased to publish the genetic evaluations for rams evaluated with the Sheep Flock Improvement Program. This report contains the list of rams with a maternal selection index higher or equal to the 90th percentile for the breed. The data published corresponds to the genetic evaluations generated at the time of the last calculation of national EPDs (Ontario - Quebec) which took place in August 2005. The genetic evaluations contained in this report were produced including the performance data for each ram as of August 5, 2005.

Publication Criteria

The report is divided into 2 sections. The first section includes rams with progeny and the section section includes ram lambs without progeny. In order to be included in the report the rams must:

Be purebred Dorset;
Be recorded in the SFIP/GenOvis database;
Be the property of an Ontario or Quebec breeder enrolled in the program in 2005.

Rams with progeny must:

Have been born since May 1, 1996. (disposed or not)
If the ram was not evaluated as a lamb, 20 progeny with 50 day weights are required;
If the ram has only a 50 day weight recorded as a lamb, 10 progeny with 50 day weights are required;
If the ram has 50 and 100 day weights recorded as a lamb, 1 progeny with 50 day weights is required.

Ram lambs with no progeny must:

Be born between May 1, 2004 and April 30, 2006.
Have valid 50 and 100 day weights recorded and not be disposed.

Warning

Genetic evaluations for ram lambs may be more likely to change compared to animals with progeny since the evaluations are generally based on less information.

Animal Sort Order

In this report, the rams are sorted in descending order of Maternal selection index. In event of equal numbers, the rams are sorted youngest to oldest.

Table Details

The rank is the ranking of the animal within this report.

Owner refers to a program identification number. This was the owner of the animal in the system at the time of the national calculation. A table showing the owner number and name and address of the owner is included on this page.

The genetic evaluations or Estimated Progeny Differences (EPDs) are expressed in the units of the trait. Therefore, the EPDs for number born and weaned are expressed as lambs and the rest of the EPDs are expressed as kilograms.
