Business Performance Our business and livestock performance are continually benchmarked with industry standards. Business and production results are annually processed by Holmes & Sackett for the past 10 years. Recent local Walcha district benchmarking was conducted by AWI's Wool 4 Wealth program on 2006 production data. Ruby Hills consistently performs in the top 10% of business results as well as livestock performance. View performance and industry comparisons here. Livestock Performance Recording
Logo merino select, Breedplan
Performance recording is an objective means of benchmarking the genetic capabilities of our livestock with animals from other flocks and herds now internationally. Further details ABRI website.
Traits that we measure and record include the following; Sire ,weaning weight, post weaning weight, yearling weight, yearling eye muscle depth, yearling fat depth & scrotal circumference.
The performance information collected from the above is analysed by the MERINOSELECT to produce Australian Sheep Breeding Values (ASBV). ASBVs are a selection tool used in conjunction with visual appraisal to select future sires and dams in our breeding programs.
