Kelso rams are the product of a long-established breeding programme combining stockmanship, science and a preparedness to think differently. Our sole focus is on lifting sheep farm performance.
“The Kelso breeding strategy is based on a disciplined approach with a large scale, recorded base, which we upgrade and modify as farmer needs change.
To maximise the rate of genetic gain we engage the best geneticists in the business. We work closely with the team at AbacusBio, using their ANI-MATE software system to improve our genetic diversity, reduce the risk of inbreeding and maintain ewe productivity.
Other key tools we use to help achieve genetic gain include two SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) chips from AgResearch, Sheep AgR 18K Plus and Sheep HD 600K. Delivering pedigree assignment, single gene tests, genomic breeding values and future-proofed sire genotyping for increased accuracy in both Maternal and Terminal evaluations.”
