LAMBPLAN

At Kentish Downs, we have an extensive breeding and performance program, which combines selection of the best quality sheep using both visual and Lambplan data to produce rams of the highest quality.

​

Lambplan is the national genetic valuation program, used to assist in stud and commercial breeding.

At Kentish Downs, we have been using Lambplan since its inception and continue to hold our Gold data quality grade status.​​
