Pendarra White Suffolk Stud's Avago - One Of The Highest Scanned Muscle Measurements

Product/Service Name

Avago

Applications
"Avago" was formed mid 2003 as a joint initiative between "Pendarra" and "Wanden" White Suffolk studs. With a combined ewe base of over 900 ewes, and using the latest in reproductive technology and performance recording, the aim was to produce high performance rams that are attractive to both processors and lamb producers. Often when breeding high performance sheep, some of the attributes of the breed or traits that are important to both processors and producers are lost. This can be best demonstrated by the fact that sheep that perform well on the show scene are rarely high performance sheep with balanced EBV's. Also some of the best features of the White Suffolk breed are often inversely correlated to some high performance EBV figures. Maintaining a balance of both the performance figures and the conformation and appeal of the sheep is important. A ram must not only have balanced performance figures that will make him ideal for trade/export lamb processors, but must also retain the physical attributes of the White Suffolk that have earned a high reputation among lamb producers. Avago's mission is to produce rams with this balance between genetic performance and physical appearance, with an emphasis on maintaining White Suffolk type.

Advantages
One of the highest scanned muscle measurements seen in the White Suffolk breed. Will add muscle and carcase length to any breeding program without losing type.
