Prime lambs from sires bred by flocks’ using LAMBPLAN have stolen the
show at the 2008-2009 WAMMCO International State Carcase competition,
the nation's largest in terms of number of entries, lambs evaluated and
overall prize money. Entries for this years competition totalled over 21
thousand prime lambs, an increase of 3000 carcases
from the previous year. The number of entries also rose to 102, which was
up by 4. The minimum consignment of lambs was 100. Each carcase was
assigned weight and grade points, with either a plus or minus VIAscan® loin
bonus determined by the loin yield. Rams evaluated through LAMBPLAN
have done particularly well, having sired 11 of the top 12 entries. The
results for the top 12 entries are shown in Table 1 below.
Congratulations to all entrants and their ram suppliers. Special mention
goes go to Mark and Hayden Edwards of Rockdale Prime SAMM stud,
whose 112purebred SAMM ewe lambs won the coveted award. This is the
second time that Rockdale has won the award, having won in 2006-2007.
Rockdale rams also sired the second placed entry.
“It is pleasing to see the majority of the top 12entrants utilize the services
provided by LAMBPLAN. The Prime lamb industry is now a professional
stand alone highly valuable
enterprise and the days of buying any old terminal sire are gone. More so
when premiums are being offered by processors for elite yielding
carcasses, growers must take a more professional approach to purchasing
sires (and replacement ewes) and do
the necessary research online to find the genetics that will enable them to
maximize their potential returns.” Rob Davidson of WAMMCO International.
