Addition to 2011 Stud Sire Ranks

Ashgrove 1/07

Just back from Steve Wyn-Harris' today with some important cargo on the truck, he's graciously lent me a stud sire acquired at the NZOSR selection day, Ashgrove 1/07, bred by David Hartles, Maungaturoto.
At DPP 2762, this ram is currently 2nd (out of 1028), on the latest Coopworth national across-flock sire list, 1511 of those index points gained from a 28th ranking for growth, and 613 for 3rd rank for survival.
Although he'll only catch a 3rd cycle mating tail, progeny bred will be a useful contribution to essential flock linkage, and his Ramguard dose credential of 5.5 is good for this FE environment.
