Follow this link to find useful information and resources on breeding and genetics for beef and sheep livestock. Genetics involves predicting the characteristics and traits of the next generation of livestock. Use genetics to optimise the performance of your farm animals and select for desirable traits.
The resources available through Signet Breeding Services include practically relevant publications, flock and herd finders, livestock buying guides and more.
We deliver transformational projects to drive productivity and boost farming and supply chain businesses. We want the industry to thrive in a rapidly changing world and continue to produce high quality food, maintain our beautiful landscape and leave a legacy for generations to come.
The livestock industry is an integral part of the agricultural sector, encompassing various aspects of animal husbandry and production. It plays an important role in global food security and supports the livelihoods of millions of people worldwide.
Beef production encompasses various stages, from breeding and rearing to processing and distribution.
Livestock populations provide people with a variety of products and services, including meat, milk, eggs, fibre and draught power, in a wide range of environments. This diversity of function is only possible because of the diversity of their genetic make-up.
