Improving Carcass Merit while maintaing profit

Industry Challenge Muscle weight as a % of LW LW Muscle as % of LW Cattle Deer22039 Pig20032 Sheep8128 Dwarf goat3135 Rabbit4.448 *Data from various sources quoted by Fowler, 1980

Profit Income – expenses Pounds sold per ewe Control feed costs

What is your market? Niche/direct sales lambs carcass whole or half piece at a time Light slaughter lambs ethnic channels Traditional sale barn, terminal, pool, packer direct, alliance

Client taste and budget Upscale versus cheap Flavor intensity Mild, coarse wooled, hair or meat type Strong, fine wool or prolific Age: younger is milder Sex: more influence on old lambs (>10 mo)

Selecting Terminal Sire Growth, growth, growth Livability, longevity Carcass merit

Selecting Terminal Sire Options

Crossbreeding Capitalize on breed complementarity Polypay ewes breed to Suffolk Rams not Suffolk ewes breed to Polypay Rams

Marketing Lambs when Ready 65 to 70% of ewe weight Average weight of sire breed females Average weight of dams breed females 175 lb Polypay lb Suffolk ( )/2 = 137.5

Seedstock producers Improving your genetics to improve carcasses NSIP, Lambplan, ultrasound Carcass traits are highly heritable rapid progress is possible example: swine industry Indirect selection via growth fair comparisons
