摘要

For nearly 20 years this group of Suffolk ram breeders have been dedicated to genetic improvements focused on performance recording for terminal sire traits. Speaking at NSA Scotsheep 2008, PSB chairman, Peter Baber explains: "Since inception our members have been concentrating on providing rams which will produce off-spring that will grow more quickly and produce more lean meat and less fat at a given age. Extensive trials prove that the progress made by this group rivals that made by any other group of sheep breeders anywhere in the world.
