Accessing New Sheep Reports and Stationery

Sheep Reports and Stationery – Finding the things you need

In the last 12 months our online reporting services have been completely updated.

This article has been written to inform Signet clients about over 25 brand new reports and search tools that they can generate in real time from the Signet website.

Simple results – Available to everyone

• To find an individual animal – use Sheep Search
• To find a breeder – use Breeder Search and to find your nearest breeder use Flock Finder
• EBV Search enables ram buyers to select sheep for a specific breeding objective – as well as a quick way to get a complete flock’s records
• Sheep for Sale – lists rams, ewes and semen currently available for sale
• Latest Breed Results – provides links to Top Stock Rams, Shearlings, Ram Lambs and the Breed Benchmark and other breed specific information

Once logged on, Signet clients can also produce the following member reports

• Member specific flock reports and electronic flock reports – listing lambs, shearlings, ewes and rams
• A Grassroots export file – to send lambing records to a breed society or simply to check the data entered
• Quick reference list – to take a set of EBVs out to the field (csv, xls or pdf output)
• Sire Progeny List – one of the most useful reports for consultants – it can now be used for ewes too
• Ewe Performance Summary – one of the most useful reports for breeders, so I am told. Updated to show any recorded trait, not just index

In terms of breed summary reports, clients can access:

• The latest Breed Benchmark
• Breed Summary – Showing the top ram lambs, shearlings and stock rams
• High Five List – Redesigned to show your nearest flock
• Genetic trends for the flock and now for the whole breed as well

Finally, we know that some clients value the ability to produce paper reports to record lambing, weights or census information. Signet’s new scanning reports are also now online. These reports replace the current scanning reports produced on-farm by technicians, including charts to help clients think about flock performance.
