PERFORMANCE MULESWelcome to the Bluefaced Leicesters breeding and marketing initiative of Mules sired by performance recorded Bluefaced Leicesters in the top 50% of the breed. As we are aware there is an increasing demand for a scientific approach in many areas of agriculture and sheep farming is no different.Our aim is to provide the sheep industry with high performing, profitable ewes which benefit from the maximum amount of hybrid vigour. It has been proven that the benefits of hybrid vigour are at their highest when two breeds are used and that it decreases as more breeds are added to the mix. The crossing of the Bluefaced Leicester with any pure hill breed is a proven method of maximising the benefits of hybrid vigour, producing mules for professional farm managers and shepherds. We now want to work with Mule breeders to develop and identify Performance Mules .In 2014 the Welsh Mule Society were the first group of breeders to take up this initiative and offer Performance Mules at their association sales. Mule breeders will again this year be able to market their female Mules as ‘Performance Mules’ if they meet a few simple qualifying criteria.
How to qualify as a Performance MuleMule breeders will need to work with the Bluefaced Leicester Association and their Mule society to formally identify Mules sired by above average index Performance recorded Bluefaced Leicesters.1) All Mules in any one pen must be sired by a Bluefaced Leicester with an index in the
top 50% on the year of purchase, according to Signet performance recorded data. This data is also available on the BASCO website.
2) Each Mule breeder can contact the Bluefaced Leicester Association for a certificate which highlights the identity of the Qualifying Ram or rams used. These certificates can be displayed on the pens at the Mule sales.
3) All Performance Mules will be identified by the initials ‘PM’ on their ear tags in a similar way as the Bluefaced Leicesters use the initial ‘L’. Please contact your tag supplier to produce appropriate tags for 2017 born Performance Mules.
The Mule societies and Bluefaced Leicester Association will continue to work togeth-er as this initiative develops. Please contact the Association office should you require Certificates for your Qualifying rams.
