Data Management
Richmond Hill Agribusiness offers a comprehensive sheep data management service. Data can be managed via Excel and specialist sheep programs including Pedigree Master, Practical Systems Stockbook and Sapien Koolcollect and Koolperform.
Sheep Genetics ASBVs
Data can be sent to RHAg in any format including paper records or electronically captured files. Data can then be input into the program of your choice, validated, errors fixed and sent to Sheep Genetics. Sheep Genetics Australian Sheep Breeding Values can then be downloaded and input into your program. A backup can then be sent to you or accessed by you via your program.
Rampower
Debbie is an accredited Rampower operator. Rampower is a program for Merino sheep that are not in MerinoSelect but have some individual data collected. This could be wool tests and weights and scan data that can be used to rank individual animals using the MerinoSelect Indexes. This information is useful for larger commercial Merino flocks that breed their own rams but do not have individual or limited pedigree information on each animal.
All data management is confidential, timely and maintained to a high standard. Advice can also be given on how to improve data quality through management practices and decision making to result in more accurate and robust ASBVs.
