Benefits of type classifying your Ayrshire herd!

The key benefits of superior graded animals is that they attract higher values than their counterparts.

Specific strengths and weaknesses are highlighted allowing improved corrective breeding decisions to be made.

Most importantly from the classification scores and linear evaluations, the figures are calculated to provide the bull proofs, type merit (for sires) and type index for cows which in turn will provide you and all breeders with more accurate and reliable information for your future breeding decisions.
