The
2012 selection represents arguably the best genetics we have produced
to date and with a consistent focus on the traits that are important
to the Australian sheep industry, we have made additional gains across
all our focus areas. In addition to the quality of the genetics, these
young sires have proven their ability to perform under some of the most
trying conditions we have seen at Pendarra.
All sires have been DNA tested for both carcase and meat eating quality
(MEQ) traits.

Pendarra
120786
Pedigree
& ASBV indexes
No
need to second guess this sire as he is all class, despite the
smudge on his nose. The
highest growth sire in our 2012 drop with a WWT ASBV close to
11 confirmed with genomic testing that puts WWT at 11.3
The dam of this sire is a twin to Pendarra
097342 who has performed exceptionally well at Pendarra
and was included in the Superwhite program.
His
MEQ traits are all OK with Shear Factor at -1.87 and IMF at 0.2
and despite a slightly lower than average muscle EBV for our stud,
he has the early growth we are always striving for and has continued
to look the goods for some time. His sire is from the Leahcim
selection (100227) we put together in 2011 and they have produced
some very good progeny. |

Pedigree
& ASBV indexes
A
very safe sire for our program as evidenced by the outstanding
carcase ASBV's, this Farrer 100135 son is one of a few from this
sire we will keep and make further selections closer to
joining. Our top F 135 son has suffered an injury so will wait
on the success of his recovery before deciding against using this
sire and a few others. A safe ram with a bullet proof pedigree. |

Pendarra
120587
Pedigree
& ASBV indexes
Possibly
the pick of the progeny from Farrer 100135 and outstanding across
all performance and Genomic testing. Apart from the injured F135
son, this sire is our highest performing animal in the 2012 drop
and has very credible MEQ results especially in the area of lean
meat yield (LMY) where he has the highest value (+0.81) we have
tested in our stud to date and one of the highest in the WS breed
coupled with very good tenderness and IMF values.
On
all values alone this young sire is exceptional, throw in an impeccable
temperament, great carcase shape and clean, faultless structure...not
much else to say! |

Pendarra
120843
Pedigree
& ASBV indexes
A
young ram from the Superwhite link sire (DG 080066) we used last
year and while a little more extreme than we would normally retain,
may have a use in our stud. A good solid pedigree on the dam side
should ensure he will work well with our genetics and with a positive
LMY value of +0.33 and good MEQ traits, will provide another option
for this years joining. Also has a good mix of carcase trait ASBV's
with good muscling and balance across the figures. |

Pendarra
120613
Pedigree
& ASBV indexes
A
good young sire from LH 100613 which we were allocated as part
of the SuperWhite program. With very high growth and balanced
fat and muscle ASBV's, he represents good a safe breeding prospect
for next years joining. This is especially evident when looking
at the dam side of his pedigree where 2 very good sires are represented;
DG 080350 and MR 030572, both who produced outstanding sheep at
Pendarra.
