Wool-primary Merino, dual-purpose maternal, terminal sire slaughter-lamb, shedding sheep, pelt-primary Gotland and Karakul, and dairy sheep — each modelled correctly with the right traits weighted the right way for your enterprise.
A wool-primary Merino flock isn't ranked the same way as a terminal-sire slaughter-lamb operation, or a Swedish Gotland pelt-primary flock. Each system carries its own trait emphasis, grading scheme and economic objective.
AU, ZA, Patagonia, Uruguay. Fleece traits carry no economic weight until AWEX price guides are licensed. Market prices are MLA's Australian indicators.
Romney, Coopworth, Corriedale, Border Leicester. NZ pastoral and Australian high-rainfall maternal flocks. Lambs weaned per ewe joined drives the economics — NLW weighted 2×.
Suffolk, Texel, White Suffolk, Poll Dorset, Hampshire, Charollais, Beltex. Used over maternal ewes for slaughter progeny. Wool zeroed; lean weight + muscle depth weighted heavily.
Dorper, White Dorper, Katahdin, St Croix, Damara. US southern, southern African, tropical regions. Faecal egg count and parasite resistance are first-order — WEC weighted −2× (lower is better).
Sweden Gotlandsfår, Iceland, Karakul (Namibia, Central Asia). Slaughter at 13–18 kg carcass for premium pelt — pelt revenue can exceed carcass at klass 1. Pälskvalitet 4×, Lockighet 3.5×.
French Roquefort country, Mediterranean dairy systems. Milk yield drives revenue — weighted 4×. Milk protein 1.8×. Somatic cell count strongly penalised.
Cattle mate-allocation logic doesn't fit sheep. Sheep operations run ram:ewe ratios from 1:50 to 1:100, single-sire stud matings alongside multi-sire commercial mobs, and split maternal vs terminal mob mating. Genemap's MAS.1 module handles all of it natively — min-cost-flow optimisation of which ram team goes on which mob, with inbreeding caps, usage caps and maternal/terminal split.
Not a cattle product with sheep tacked on. Sheep economics, sheep evaluations, sheep mating logic, sheep grading — all native.
Fleece traits carry no economic weight until AWEX price guides are licensed. Market prices are MLA's Australian indicators. The wool maths (micron premium curve) is in the engine and waits on a licensed price source.
AU Sheep Genetics (LAMBPLAN/MERINOSELECT/KIDPLAN), MLP; NZ SIL + nProve; US NSIP; UK Signet + RamCompare; IE Sheep Ireland; FR IDELE; ES MERAGEM; NO Sauekontrollen; IS RML; SE Elitlamm; UY SUL; AR INTA Patagonia; BR GENSOR; CA GenOvis; ZA Logix Sheep. Real percentile bands are integrated for AU Sheep Genetics today; other systems carry source-URL metadata and are flagged "label-only" until upstream tables are ingested.
Pälskvalitet, Lockighet, Lyster, Färg as first-class evaluable traits. No mainstream breeding platform supports pelt economics — Genemap does.
The fibre-diameter EBV is worth different money at different micron-bracket premia — Genemap's wool maths prices FD / YFD / AFD on the premium curve, not a single average. Fleece traits carry no economic weight until AWEX price guides are licensed. The indicators below are the ones that would be used; none is read today.
