2010 Directory of Sheep Breeders
Foreword
I welcome you to this the 5th edition of the Directory of Pedigree Sheep Breeders. The purpose of this publication is to provide details of all the major sheep breed societies/associations and their affiliated members. It is envisaged that this directory will act as a useful reference document for all those interested in sheep breeding. It is not a complete guide to all sheep breeds in Ireland but contains details of the major breed societies/associations.
Teagasc advocates the use of purebred rams as an important part in the long - term development and improvement of the Irish sheep flock. Flockowners interested in making maximum genetic progress should select rams that participate in the sheep Ireland Lamb Plus Scheme. Pages 55 and 56 include detailed information about the Sheep Ireland Lamb Plus Scheme. Readers are advised to consult with this section section so that they can make better use of the indices when choosing rams.
Breed societies are listed in alphabetical order. Teagasc accepts no responsibility for any errors or omissions. Details given in the directory are compiled from information supplied by the individual breed societies/associations.

LambPlus® is the Sheep Breeding information arm of ‘Sheep Ireland’. For pedigree sheep breeders LambPlus® has replaced the Department of Agriculture PSBIP scheme. LambPlus® records relevant on - farm data submitted by sheep farmers and in return generates flock reports and genetic evaluations which allows farmers/breeders compare/benchmark their flock’s performance with other LambPlus® users. LambPlus® differs from the PSBIP scheme as it takes more than just terminal traits into the evaluations generated.
Genetic evaluations a useful tool in selection decisions: These genetic evaluations are a useful selection tool for both commercial farmers and pedigree breeders alike. The traits that are included in the evaluations can be found under three distinct headings production, maternal and lambing sub index to give an overall sheep value. A health sub index is being developed in the coming years as data is recorded and stored.
The Production sub index shows an animal’s genetic merit for terminal traits like growth rates, carcass score etc. It is the ability of an animal to produce good terminal progeny.
The Maternal sub index shows an animal’s genetic merit for maternal traits. This means how efficient their progeny will be getting a lamb to slaughter weight; or their mothering ability etc. This index should be used in selecting a sheep to breed efficient replacements from.
The Lambing sub index shows an animal’s genetic merit for lambing. This examines ease of lambing and lamb survival ability.
The Health sub index when developed will evaluate parasite resistance and foot rot.
Overall Sheep Value is the overall evaluation of the animal combining all the above sub indexes.
€uro Star Sheep Indexes explained: Along with visual appraisal of sheep, farmers now have indices which will help them to select sheep that will improve their flock. Breeders will be able to use the indexes to assist in the selection of sheep which are strong in the traits they require. The indexes are focused on both profit principles and easy care trait for Irish sheep farmers, commercial farmers and pedigree breeders alike. The genetic evaluations/indices will be presented in the following €uro Star format at sales in the coming year. All sheep farmers should familiarise themselves with the €uro Star Sheep Indexes so they can easily use the data as a selection tool when they attend sales.

2010 Directory of Sheep Breeders
Guidelines to using the €uro - Stars: Ram Purchasers should: • Identify what aspect(s) of the flock’s performance for improvement by the Ram before attending a sale. i.e., production, maternal, lambing sub - index. • Select rams with at least 4 €uro - Stars for the desired sub - index(s). • Pay careful attention to the Accuracy % of the €uro - Stars at all times. • The selected ram should meet the purchasers requirements from a visual viewpoint (conform to breed type etc). • The €uro - Star figures should be used as a tool to help in the selection process. The higher the Accuracy % of the figures the more emphasis can be placed on this selection tool.
