Burnbrae Poll 230022 . We've had incredible interest in BP 230022 this year. He's predicted to have over 1000 progeny in 2025 across most states. What has stood out is his ability to drive welfare at the same time as key production traits.

Testing of the 2024 ram lambs is well underway @ 5mths of age. Individual WECs are one of our most important measurements and invaluable to our direction. Plenty of shape and great structure in this year's drop. @Fergenetics @neXtgenAgri @DarrenGordon22 @HenryHickson99 @xytovet

Back in the yards recording data on the 24 drop to better inform our 2025 joining program. BP 220818 has had a massive impact already going the 12mths without requiring a crutch. His progeny averaged 1.36 when scored compared to the flock average of 2.

Great turnout yesterday for our open day. Was fantastic to hear some awesome results with best ever marking and scanning results to 8kg heavier at weaning. There was also plenty of interest and discussion around the phenotype and dataset that 230588 has to offer the industry.
