Use RamFinder to find individual animals with the genetic merit you specify

RamFinder is designed for ram breeders (sellers). It is a powerful search engine that trawls through the large SIL-ACE evaluation to locate animals that meet a range of selection criteria specified by the user.

RamFinder searches through the latest results of SIL-ACE, the large-scale, across flock, across breed genetic evaluation that SIL regularly conducts. Over 300 SIL flocks participate in the SIL-ACE evaluation.

A wide range of criteria can be used based on SIL indexes and BV traits, breed, geographical location and other variables. This tool can be used to find where the genetics are of the type you want to bring into your breeding programme.

Users can specify which traits are in the index of overall merit used by RamFinder and set windows or ceilings for different traits. Results can be ranked or reranked on most variables. Individual animal results can be viewed pictorially as a bar graph for variables chosen by the user. Flock owner contact details are just a click away.

WARNING - this tool is being tested. Users wishing to provide feedback should contact SIL by email (silhelp@sheepimprovement.co,nz) or telephone (0800-SILHELP).

A User Guide for RamFinder is available and can be printed out. The last page of this Guide is a Quick Reference to RamFinder search features.
