Ram lambs go to PA Performance Ram Test
Tuesday, April 10, 2007
7:00 AM - 12:00 PM
We will deliver fast growing, thick loined ram lambs to Pennsylvania Performance Ram Testing Program. They will be on test for 77 days and sell on August 4, 2007. Vorac Suffolks have placed in the top 3 since we started consigning rams in 2004.
A Ram Testing Program provides a common test for evaluating rate of gain, structural soundness, muscularity, condition, and estimated carcass merit. It allows purebred breeders and commercial producers to purchase rams, which have been evaluated in part under similar, unbiased, environmental conditions (so differences in performance are more likely to be genetic). The testing facility houses up to 200 rams. Rations are self fed after a warm-up period.
