Number of Polypay Ewes in Our Flock by Percentile Rank and EPD
|
The table tells us that our flock of 31 Polypay ewes has 12 ewes in the top 10 percent of all Polypays in the 2007 Spring NSIP
Run and 24 ewes are in the top 25 percent. When you put ewes like this with rams that are in the top 10 percent of the breed,
you have very good production. If there is a specific area, you wish too emphasize, contact us and we'll tell you what we can do
to help you meet those needs.
The Polypay ewe with the lowest Composite Index, 30 percentile is a ewe with 13 lambs born and 13 lambs weaned in 4
lambings at 3 1/2 years of age. She raised quads on her own as a 2 year old and as a 3 year old. Than she went on to raise
triplets August lambs in her third year. Her last quads had a 120 day adjusted litter weight of 372 pounds. Therefore, I think
she has earned a place in our flock.
