Abstract

Meta-analysis of data from a number of progeny tests, involving crossbred progeny of terminal sire rams with known ASBVs, shows that in general LAMBPLAN ASBVs predict progeny performance as expected. There is however a considerable range around the mean regressions for all traits examined, and in the case of the regression of cross-bred progeny carcase weight on sire post-weaning weight ASBV, some anomalous results requiring further investigation. IN general, lamb producers can be confident in use of LAMBPLAN information in sourcing flock rams.
