- Abstract:
The article features Texel breeder and farm manager Richard Clay and his practice of breeding pedigree rams in a commercial setting at Gaynes Park Farm in Essex, England. Clay has 110 pedigree Texel ewes and 550 commercial ewes at the farm. He notes the cost effectiveness of benchmarking homebred sires in terms of genetic gain. He states that his practice of documenting the genetic progress of the livestock enables him to produce breeds preferred by his clients.
