Really interesting couple of days in NI visiting Campbell Tweed @ Ballycoose farm & the CAFRE hill farm at Glenwherry. Also managed to attend the Ballycoose open evening event & give a quick update on the #SRUCKirkton flock. Great turnout of farmers & lots of good discussion 🧬🐏

With tonight's webinar we launched genomic breeding values for sheep. A massive first for the industry. I can't believe how far we have come. At the start of my career it would've been considered impossible.... it simply wouldn't have been considered. @AHDB_BeefLamb @egenes_sruc

Fantastic to be part of tonight's @FarmingConnect webinar with @janet_roden talking about the way we express the hill index in economic terms. The index does a great job for hill ram buyers & highlights the true value of genetics @HybuCigCymru @AHDB_BeefLamb @prohill_sheep

Sorry I am online for Day 3 of @BSAS_org - but good to hear @AHDB_Dairy and @AHDB_BeefLamb research on genomics, growth curves and disease resistance being presented. Another series of great papers today and Vardy is looking forward to the one on insect feed in poultry diets.

Latest update: Phenotype is still King. Phew…I was worried for a moment - though joking apart I have just seen genomic values for worm resistance in sheep and I can tell you, phenotype is still vital, exciting as the new gBVs are. @BSAS_org @egenes_sruc @dadyo32 @EurionFECPAK
