To start with, you will agree with me that breeding is an exciting but complex profession.
Some will say you have to have a good father and others would also say that you have to have a good female base
Is it a good father who will create the right female base, or is it the right females who will produce good fathers?
how to recruit a good father?
how to create a good feminine base?
To answer this question, I think we must first understand the concept of race and how it is created.
As an almost common ancestor of all ladoum, we have the tyson. This one was a beautiful sheep, big and tall. I don’t know if he was once measured, but it is certain that his measurements do not differ from those of today’s male hopefuls. And yet Tyson is the ancestor of most of the Ladoum herd according to reports. So how come the adult ladoums linked to Tyson are much taller than him? This is because there is evolution supported by genetics. When we emphasize a trait when talking about improvement, it tends to develop consistently after going through several generations.
For example, the president of the bar is the highest ladoum of all time. And yet, his father, a magistrate, is not that great. But the magistrate has one thing that many ladoum do not have. It’s swinging. The magistrate’s father, Cheikh Diop, is tall but not long. Aïcha his mother is tall and very tall. So this cocktail can only be captivating. This is why the magistrate has sons like president, grand rane, makhou seye, toureg and consor. And to obtain these quality subjects the choice of mothers was decisive. As a linguistic illustration, I give the mother of the President of the Bar and the great Rane. This one is huge mashala.
In short, what we must remember here is that to obtain a beautiful lamb likely to be a good father or a beautiful ewe likely to be a good mother, their fathers and mothers must come from exceptional bloodlines, that is to say lines having the characteristics required for breeding, namely (goudou, ndiol, reuy) and also it all depends on what the breeder is trying to improve and produce. Also, I am of the opinion that it takes at least two or even three productions from a male or female parent to be able to conclude whether they bring their respective dominant 🧬 to their offspring depending on what the breeder is always looking for. The contribution of females is important, even very important. Also, statistically to be able to validate a fact or an event (good father or father) you need an exhaustive history of the data (here for me it is the offspring).
If I take the case of myself (in good faith😊) i offered to release the male I had to a close friend because as some say, bi-breeding goes beyond an individual opinion. Fortunately I had the idea (a good one I hope) to associate it with the only two females that I have. I then offered it to a person who is very dear to me, but since then I have had three lambs from him (two ewes and one lamb) but I am totally won over by the quality of his production.
History of reinforcing the idea of a certain number of descendants before being able to conclude on a decision on the line of work at least seeing the father’s production is a good evaluation criterion.
There is currently not a single sheep that has all the characteristics sought for.
The solution is therefore, as usual, crossover.
Find the height here and the volume/volume there.
Here the beauty they’re a long lcs.
Here neatly arranged horns, there a long tail.
Etc…. It depends on when the breeder started breeding. A breeder can start with a female who, fortunately, is a good breeder and can produce her best offspring. You can have a great male and not have good quality females. However, the male will improve the female base with the offspring resulting from his cross with these average females. Others, however, are looking for a good male and good females (they already have a female base) and will continue to improve.
I think it is necessary to have a male or female element with a very strong and dominant genetic capital capable of transmitting the desired characteristics.
