WELCOME to the 2018 Rocklyn ram saleWhile seasonal conditions across the state are poor, wool and lamb markets are on all-time highs. We hope our clients have not been too severely impacted by the drought to capitalise on the current market situation. This year, Rocklyn Merino Stud turns 80! I haven’t been around for quite that long but things have certainly changed in that time. Our Stud has moved from producing sheep with more development and a stronger micron to developing plainer bodied, dual purpose sheep with fine-medium wool, that have high fertility and good early growth rates. Having done this through careful selections over a long period of time means that we have not compromised our heavy wool cutters in the process. Classing concentrates on long stapled, bright, soft handling wool that is well nourished with good crimp definition. In 2018 we are embracing the exciting and progressive step of DNA sampling and genomic

testing and we look forward to how this will fast-track our genetic progress. Australian Sheep Breeding Values (ASBVs) and selection indexes have again been included in the sale catalogue to assist buyers with their selections. I would like to welcome returning clients and new buyers to the 2018 Rocklyn Merino Stud ram sale. Please join us for lunch and refreshments at the sale.

Selection indexes A selection index combines ASBVs for several traits to give a single value. This reflects the performance of the sheep relative to the breeding objective of the particular index.

MP+

Merino Production Plus Index - ranks animals on their ability to produce progeny for a fine wool operation that has significant surplus sheep sales. The index is aimed at producers whose sheep income is a balance of both wool and surplus sheep sales. It is for self-replacing merino flocks who do not keep their wethers to produce wool.

DP+

Dual Purpose Plus Index - ranks animals on their ability to produce merinos for dual purpose operations. The index is aimed at producers whose majority of sheep income comes from sheep sales. It is for self-replacing merino flocks that do not keep their wethers and also join a portion of their ewes to terminal sires for lamb production.

Explanation of termsWhen selecting rams, it is important to take these factors into consideration and combine this information with a visual assessment of the rams. Further data is available upon request.

Measured performance data

Australian sheep breeding values (ASBVs)

Sire Sire of the ram - see sire summary on page 5 for further informationFD Fibre diameter - the mean fibre diameter in microns of all fibres measured (6 August 2018)SD Standard deviation of the fibre diameter (6 August 2018)CV Coefficient of variation of the fibre diameter (6 August 2018)CF Comfort factor - percentage of fibres under 30 micron (6 August 2018)

BWT Body weight in kilograms (6 August 2018)

YCFW Yearling clean fleece weight (kg) - rams with higher YCFW ASBVs produce progeny that will cut more wool.

YFD Yearling fibre diameter (μm) - rams with more negative YFD ASBVs produce progeny which are finer.

YFDCV Yearling fibre diameter coefficient of variation (%) - rams with lower YFDCV ASBVs will produce progeny with lower variation in fibre diameter.

YSL Yearling staple length (mm) - rams with more positive YSL ASBVs will produce progeny with longer staple length.

YWT Yearling weight (kg) - rams with more positive YWT ASBVs produce progeny that grow quicker and are heavier at a certain age.

YFAT Yearling fat depth (mm) - rams with more positive YFAT ASBVs will produce progeny that have more subcutaneous fat, which improves reproduction rate and meat quality.

YEMD Yearling eye muscle depth (mm) - rams with more positive YEMD ASBVs will produce progeny that have more muscle, independent of weight, and a higher lean meat yield.
