Advantages

The Konsortium partnership holds far-reaching advantages for its breeders:

A larger genetic and selection pool.
More top quality rams are selected for the stud.
More ewes are mated to the best rams.
Rams are used at a younger age (AI at 12 months).
A ram is seldom used for more than two matings, based on the principle that progeny should be better than the sire.
Genetic progress is speeded up.
