Dear Sheep Producers, On behalf of the National Sheep Improvement Program and the sale committee, we would like to invite you to our first ever Eastern NSIP Sale at the Wayne County Fairgrounds in Wooster, OH at 1:00 p.m. on August 12, 2017. This sale will be a great opportunity to access proven genetics that have been selected for increased productivity and profitability. Sheep can be found to improve lambing and weaning rates along with growth rates, increase carcass cutability and build parasite resistance. There will truly be a sheep for everyone.
We hope you can benefit from the educational buyers workshop preceding the sale, which will also be a great networking opportunity. Interest in NSIP and sheep selected for productivity improvement has never been higher. This is your chance to see what the buzz is about and take home genetics chosen for one purpose: improving your bottom line.
Thanks to everyone who helped make this sale materialize and being a part of “America’s Genetic Foundation for a Profitable Sheep Industry”! Sincerely, Rusty Burgett

Note from the Auctioneer
These are exciting times for sheep producers in the Eastern U.S.! Over the past few years, the National Sheep Improvement Program has done nothing but grow which means more sheep selected that will add pounds to your lamb crop and dollars to your check!
The Eastern NSIP Sale is a great opportunity for sheep producers to access these genetics for profitability. Sheep are consigned from Georgia to Maine, New York to Missouri and everywhere in between which means no matter what type of production system you use, there will be a sheep for everyone!
If you can’t make it to the sale, contact Rusty Burgett, the sale manager and we’ll make sure to set up phone bids so you don’t miss your chance to get these genetics for profitability. Sincerely Andy Korb, Auctioneer

Educational Presentations The educational presentations on Friday, August, 11 are geared towards current NSIP members as well as anyone interested in joining. The presentations on Saturday before the sale are focused on selecting breeding stock based on Estimated Breeding Values and then how to improve your nutritional programs to allow your animals to express their true genetic potential. Using EBVs in Selection Decisions: Rusty Burgett, NSIP Program director will explain what EBVs tell us about an animal’s genetic potential and how to use them to reach production goals. Selecting for Parasite Resistance: Internal parasites are one of the largest impediments to sheep production in many parts of the U.S. Dr. Katherine Petersson from University of Rhode Island and Dr. Anne Zajac from Virginia Tech will help to understand the life cycle of internal parasites, why it’s important to select for resistance and how to improve your flock’s ability to naturally fend off internal parasites. Maximizing Genetic Potential with Optimal Nutrition and Management: As we increase the genetic potential of our flocks by utilizing EBVs and quantitative genetic selection, we need to assure our nutrition programs are allowing for optimum expression of those genes. Dr. Francis Fluharty from The Ohio State University OARDC will present on the importance of sound nutrition programs and tips for maximizing genetic expression in order to reap the full benefits of selection.
Estimated Breeding Values Estimated breeding values (EBVs) quantify the genetic merit of a sheep for a particular trait. They express the expected deviation of performance of an animal for each trait. Each EBV consists of an age category and a measurement type. In the following example, if the ram has an EBV of 3.0 kg for weaning weight (WWT) he has the genetic potential to be 3 kg heavier at weaning compared to others in the breed and his lambs should be 3.0 pounds heavier at weaning when we convert to pounds and since each lamb inherits half it’s genetics from its sire. EBVs available: Birth Weight (BWT) estimates direct genetic effect on weight at birth. Positive selection on BWT EBVs is anticipated to increase birth weight and have correlated positive effects on early lamb survival especially in twins and triplets. Negative pressure is expected to decrease birth weights and lambing difficulty if oversized lambs are a common problem. Maternal Weaning Weight (MWWT) estimates genetic merit for mothering ability and mainly reflects differences in ewe milk production. Selecting for high MWWT is expected to increase milk production and overall mothering ability of ewes which will reflect in increased pounds of lamb weaned. Weaning Weight (WWT) provides an estimate of preweaning growth potential and will receive positive selection pressure in most flocks due to it’s impact on pounds of lamb weaned per ewe exposed and overall profitability. Post Weaning Weight (PWWT) reflects the genetic potential for lambs to grow after weaning based on both pre and post weaning data. Selecting for PWWT will favor individuals with rapid growth to market weight. Number of Lambs Born (NLB) expresses the genetic potential for prolificacy and is reported in a percentage (%). If a ram has 26% NLB EBV, he should sire daughters that will have 26% more lambs than the average or if he sires 100 daughters, they will drop 26 more lambs compared to average.
Number of Lambs Weaned (NLW) evaluates combined effects of prolificacy and lamb survival and is also expressed as a percentage. If a ram with NLW EBV of 12% sires 100 daughters, those daughters will wean 12 additional lambs compared to average. USA Maternal Index combines NLB, NLW, MWWT and WWT into one, easy to use number. Positive selection will increase multiple maternal traits at one time. Post Weaning Eye Muscle Depth (PEMD) estimates the genetic potential for muscling. Positive selection pressure will increase carcass cutability and are estimated based on Ultrasound measurements. Post Weaning Fat (PFAT) expresses the genetic potential for carcass fatness over the loin at the 12th and 13th ribs. Used in conjunction with PEMD, carcass composition and quality can be improved. Carcass Plus (Carc+) combines WWT, PWWT, PEMD and PFAT into one, easy to use selection index. Positive selection pressure will increase growth rates and muscling while decreasing carcass fat. Weaning and Post Weaning Fecal Egg Count (W/ PFEC) shows the genetic potential to resist internal parasites and is expressed as a percentage of reduction. Negative pressure will increase genetic resistance to parasites.

The efficacy of commercial dewormers continues to decline due to resistance of the wormers to the products. Therefore, a new method for control of gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN) is needed. Some sheep are inherently more resistant to infection of internal parasites. The fecal egg count Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs) can help you find sheep that are genetically resistant to Haemonchus Contortus or the barber pole worm; the GIN that causes the largest economic detriment to sheep producers. Weaning Fecal Egg Count (WFEC) indicates the percent reduction in barber pole worms at the weaning time period and Post Weaning Fecal Egg Count (PFEC) indicates the same percent reduction but after the stress of weaning when worms are known to cause major problems. For example, a ram with a WFEC of -68 and a PFEC of -75 has the genetics to have 68% FEWER worm eggs being shed at weaning and a 75% REDUCTION in parasite fecal eggs being shed after weaning which means the animals are being less affected by worms! This means less need for chemical dewormers (decreased expenses) and increased productivity!

We put this ram on a few of our ewes last fall and were ever impressed with his offspring. His lambs had an average weaning weight of 77.4 pounds. We’ve had a hard time deciding to sel him but his pedigree is very prevalent in our flock and so succesful that we decided to sell it.

Mapleton Mynd Shropshires will bring two of the top five registerable rams to Wooster. We are challenged to decide which to bring and which to retain as stud prospects. As such, we will wait until the July 1 BEV run is complete, which includes our PWWT and ultrasound measurements to make the fnal decisions. The rams selected will be balanced for growth and carcass traits and will work in a variety of production systems: replacement crossbred ewe lambs, easy-lambing sires to breed to white faced ewe lambs, easy-fleshing “ethnic” lambs, fast-growing “traditional market” lambs that require less feed inputs, grass-based systems and within registered Shrop flocks looking for type and production
