Probreed guarantees their rams and lambs at sale: Guaranteed disease free; Guaranteed for first joining or 12 months of age; Guaranteed for structural faults until 12 months of age; Guaranteed fertility. Read our Best Practice Ram Care guide to ensure the most out of your rams. Ram Guarantee. Ram Guarantee. Ram Guarantee. Ram Guarantee. PRODUCT CARE The Gain? Best Practice Ram Care. Best Practice Ram Care. Best Practice Ram Care. Best Practice Ram Care. Prior to Arrival We carry out a comprehensive animal health program before the sale of the ram to you. This includes: All flocks are Accredited free of Brucellosis Annual palpation and blood testing of rams Full vaccination for clostridial diseases All ewes are vaccinated with Camplyobacter Site specific treatments are undertaken with consideration to climate and topography All animals are free from Lice and Footrot All animals are monitored for worm burden and where required treated All animals are vaccinated with Guidair against Ovine Johnes Copies of the Animal Health Summary and Accreditation Certificates are inserted into the back of this guide for your reference and records. On Arrival When you receive your ram, we recommend the following: Check for injury and lameness that may have occurred during transit. If you have any concerns please advise Probreed immediately. Ensure feed and water are available Mix with a socially equal and disease free group of peers. Re-check in three to seven days time for any issues or injuries that may occur while social hierarchy is established. A summary of what your ram was fed prior to arrival is included below. Please consider what your ram has been fed on as the ram will need to be adjusted to your feed base gradually in order to achieve a continued rising plane of nutrition and avoid stomach upset. Pre Mating It takes at least six weeks for viable semen to be produced by the ram. In order to achieve maximum fertility results, we recommend your ram team is fully vaccinated at least two months pre mating, and protected against the following: Ensure your ram team is fully vaccinated for all conditions of local significance (including salmonella and clostridial disease) Fully protected against flystrike Free from lameness Not presented with any sudden feed changes Not challenged by internal parasites - particularly barbers pole. If in doubt, vaccinate. Additional best practise recommendations: No ram in full wool should be put out for joining. Shear your rams between 16 and six weeks pre-mate. Probreed rams are shorn 8 weeks prior to sale. Body condition score (BSC) should start at 2.5 and increase through a rising plane of nutrition to achieve a minimum increase of 0.5 BCS over this time (this works out at 3-4kgs minimum live weight gain). Be aware of the challenge and have a contingency plan in the case of sickness or injury such as staggers, pneumonia/pleurisy, scald, photosensitivity, heat/cold stress, acidosis, dehydration or misadventure. The aforementioned are all possibilities for any sheep introduced to any farming enterprise, and if the challenge is higher than the pre-existing tolerance, the ram may get sick and underperform. Carry out a pre mate health inspection of rams before putting the ram out to ensure all rams are fit, healthy and able to perform their job. During Mating Mate at your selected ram ratio, remembering: We also advise you to useRam ratios can range in general from 1:50, 1:100 + 1. We advise you use local knowledge, history and awareness of geography and topography in particular. If in doubt, or if last year's scanning showed >4% dries and <80% ewes mated in the first cycle, increase to 1:80. Mature or two tooth rams, higher body weight, larger testicle rams will mate more ewes per ram than newly arrived acclimating ram lambs. Use higher mating ratios if you have used teasers, use higher ratio's if the ram team is made up of only ram lambs. Watch for health challenges through mating and act if rams are affected. This may mean adding more rams to joining mobs where rams are affected and potentially treating rams (be careful with any treatments that may negatively impact fertility). Optimum mating is >90% ewes mated in the first cycle resulting in 80+% pregnant. 35 days post mating (from rams being introduced to the ewes) the rams are ready to be removed. Post Mating Post Mating Carry out a second health check on your ram team and address any noted issues. Consider a worm drench for first season young rams and any other low BCS mixed-age rams. Best practice is to conduct a faecal egg count to ascertain if drenching is necessary. In principle, rams should not need drenching if ram ratio's, preparation, management and feed during mating were optimum. Ensure all rams are fed at a level to return to their pre mating body weight over the next six weeks. Scanning + Marking Scanning Scanning occurs at around 6 weeks post ram removal, dependent upon length of joining. Scanning serves as an excellent reminder to conduct another ram health check to ensure weight gain and general health to protect your asset. Scanning to Marking Ram lambs and two tooths (i.e. new first season rams) need to be fed well to achieve acceptable body weights as adults. Aim for live weight gain of 150g/day for ram lambs and 50g/day for two tooths at this time. Post Marking Run another health check and/ or vet check on your ram team including: Physical check-up and general winter BCS evaluation. Mouth and cheek check as the ram team ages and consider replacing any ram >4 years old on the basis of increased genetic merit from new purchases. Routine breeding and soundness check of the testicles, scrotum and pizzle. A vet check is highly recommended, including screening for Ovine Brucellosis. Basic stocktake of how many rams you require for the next breeding season based on genetic improvement and attrition on-farm. Probreed flocks are accredited under the Ovine Brucellosis Free states accreditation programs: Probreed exceeds program requirements by testing rams annually. Probreed recommends you test your rams annually prior to joining, ensuring that the follow up test is conducted and results received before putting rams out for joining. The Gain? The Gain? The Gain?

They are also selected for low birth weight and high survival, to reduce lambing difficulties and losses. ProBreed Maternal sires are suitable for mating with Merino or crossbred ewes, to produce high-quality prime lambs or replacement ewes. Maternal Efficiency and High Fertility Maternal efficiency is the ability of a ewe to produce and raise a lamb, or multiple lambs, every year. It is influenced by several factors, such as conception rate, litter size, lamb survival, milk production and maternal behaviour. High maternal efficiency is essential for increasing lamb production per hectare and reducing the cost of production per kilogram of lamb. One of the key drivers of maternal efficiency is fertility, which is the ability of a ewe to conceive and maintain a pregnancy. Fertility is affected by genetic and environmental factors, such as age, body condition, nutrition, health, season and ram quality. Fertility can be measured by scanning percentage, which is the proportion of ewes that are pregnant at scanning, and lambing percentage, which is the proportion of ewes that lamb. ProBreed Maternal sires are selected for high fertility, as indicated by their high number of lambs weaned (NLW) ASBV. This means that they have the genetic potential to produce more lambs per ewe per year, compared to other sires. By using ProBreed Maternal sires, you can increase your scanning and lambing percentages, and improve your flock reproductive performance. Lamb survival is the proportion of lambs that are born alive and survive until weaning. It is a critical factor for lamb production per hectare, as it determines the number of lambs available for sale or retention. Lamb survival is influenced by genetic and environmental factors, such as birth weight, lamb vigour, colostrum intake, ewe nutrition, health, predation and weather. ProBreed Maternal sires are selected for high survival, as indicated by their low birth weight (BWT) ASBV and high weaning weight (WWT) ASBV. This means that they have the genetic potential to produce lambs that are born at an optimal weight, that are vigorous and have a high chance of survival, and that grow fast until weaning, compared to other sires. By using ProBreed Maternal sires, you can reduce your lamb mortality rate, and increase your lamb growth rate and weaning weight.

ProBreed Plus sires are selected for high post-weaning weight, eye muscle depth and fat depth ASBVs, as well as moderate yearling clean fleece weight and fibre diameter ASBVs. They are also selected for low worm egg count and high worm resistance ASBVs, to improve the health and resilience of their progeny. ProBreed Plus sires are suitable for mating with Merino or crossbred ewes, to produce high-quality prime lambs or dual-purpose sheep. Prime lamb production is a profitable and rewarding enterprise, but it also involves some risks, such as market volatility, climate variability, disease outbreaks and predation. To reduce these risks, producers need to adopt strategies that can improve their flock productivity, profitability and sustainability. One of these strategies is to use genetics that can enhance the performance and resilience of their sheep. ProBreed Plus sires are selected for traits that can reduce production risk in prime lamb enterprises, such as growth, carcase, wool and worm resistance. These traits can improve the income and efficiency of the enterprise, as well as the health and welfare of the sheep. By using ProBreed Plus sires, you can produce lambs that have higher growth rates, better carcase attributes, finer and heavier fleeces, and lower worm burdens, compared to other sires. These lambs can also cope better with adverse conditions, such as drought, heat stress, parasites and diseases. Carcase quality and value are important factors for prime lamb production, as they determine the price and demand for the product. Carcase quality and value are influenced by several traits, such as weight, yield, fatness, muscling, tenderness. These traits can be measured by objective and subjective methods, such as carcase grading, ultrasound scanning, meat quality testing and consumer feedback. ProBreed Plus sires are selected for high eye muscle depth (EMD) and fat depth (FAT) ASBVs, which are indicators of carcase quality and value. Fat depth is a measure of the amount and distribution of subcutaneous fat, which affects the yield, appearance and eating quality of lamb. By using ProBreed Plus sires, you can produce lambs that have higher eye muscle depth and fat depth, compared to other sires. These lambs can have higher carcase weights, yields, grades and prices, as well as better meat tenderness, juiciness and flavour.
