OVERVIEW
Connewarran is building a body of evidence for high genetic performance through sire evaluation trial results. These trials measure our genetic progress in relation to other leading Australian studs, providing comprehensive and independent evidence regarding the quality of Connewarran genetics.
There have been several outstanding results, but the most pleasing aspect is the relative consistency of good results. Between 2008 and 2022, 10 sires have been entered in fifteen trials. Of these:
-
Two sires, Con 8002 & Con 15024 have been ranked as leader in all four indexes used by the trial
-
a further sire Con 0040 has been ranked as leader in one index of their trial
-
All but two sires have been ranked in the top three of one or more indexes in one or more of their trials
