ASHMORE RAMS ANNUAL STUD RAM INSPECTION DAY this Sunday from 12-3pm. Stud WS sale rams & keeper WS and UW rams will be on display. #AshmoreRams #GeneticsThatPerform

[Ashmore Rams @ashmorews]

@james_ag_ Possibly. Tail doesn’t need to be that short to stay on. We leave tails on pure Ultra Whites. Just needs to be wool free & bit shorter seems +ve. Likely tail length controlled by lots of genes & h2 is high so if we collect data an ASBV for tail length be fairly straightforward.

Tagging ewe lamb AI lambs this week. Stumbled across this stumpy tailed little fella. Tagged 1,000s of lambs at birth and never seen anything like this…has anyone else?

[Ashmore Rams @ashmorews]

[Ashmore Rams @ashmorews]

[Ashmore Rams @ashmorews]

@LambproHolbrook Removing the need to shear/crutch/tail in meat sheep systems be the biggest labour saving innovation in decades. Been around for a while but only starting gain gain traction since shearer shortage and value of downs wool & skins close to $0.

Alongside sheepwork we have also been spraying fungicides on crops, baling hay & getting ready for harvest. We feel for our eastern states friends who have coped one deluge after another - the flooding is just devastating. Feels like mother nature will have the last word in ‘22

Last week we took post weaning weight, fat and muscle measurements on 816 early drop lambs. We are looking to identify the next crop of stud sires to use as ram lambs. Always an exciting time when the data comes back from LAMBPLAN. Ashmore 220228 was our scanner Rachel’s pick.
