Sheep Ireland are still in the process of selecting rams for use in the CPT program for the 2018/2019 breeding season. Many breeders have already been in contact wishing to submit their ram in the running. Breeders which entered rams to the CPT in past years have reaped huge benefits as the accuracies of their rams and his progeny increase significantly, making their genetic evaluations more accurate. They also have genetic linkage to the Central Hub, meaning their flock will be genetically linked for up to 3 years in that particular breed.
