1. All rams and ram lambs sold at a Society sale are warranted by the seller to be capable of 

natural and effective service by 70 days from date of sale ("the Male Guarantee Period") 

provided always that: 

a. any animal which is not so capable and where the incapacity is caused or contributed to by 

injury or illness howsoever caused, suffered or contracted after the sale is not covered by the 

warranty; and 

b. any animal which has not been conclusively determined as incapable of natural and effective 

service in accordance with the procedure set out hereinafter and which dies of natural causes 

during the Male Guarantee Period is not covered by the warranty. 

2. An animal shall be deemed incapable of natural and effective service if: 

a. it fails to make at least one ewe pregnant during the Male Guarantee Period under natural 

breeding conditions; and 

b.it is certified as being so incapable by a veterinary surgeon in accordance with clauses 4 and 

5 below. 

“Natural breeding conditions" means when a ram is run with ewes in normal breeding condition, 

cycling without artificial interference. Ewes which have been sponged and/or treated with 

hormones to induce or synchronise ovulation are deemed not to be in normal breeding 

condition. 

3. The buyer shall throughout the Male Guarantee Period give the animal full and sufficient 

opportunity to prove that he is capable of natural and effective service and maintain him in a fit 

condition. 

4. If the buyer highlights that the ram or ram lamb has failed to prove capable of natural and 

effective service by 56 days from sale date of the year of sale, the buyer shall then: 

a. Notify the seller in writing that the animal is to be tested; and 

b. Have the animal subjected to a semen test by the artificial vagina method by a veterinary 

surgeon attached to a breeding company authorised by the society; and 

c. Obtain from the veterinary surgeon a duly completed Soundness for Breeding report; and 

d. (If the veterinary surgeon certifies that the animal is incapable of natural and effective 

service) lodge a copy of the Report with the seller. 

5. The seller shall be entitled to have a second test carried out by the same or a different 

veterinary surgeon attached to a breeding company authorised by the Society who shall issue a 

Soundness for Breeding report by 14 days after notification by the purchaser and such Report 

shall conclusively determine whether or not the animal is capable of natural and effective 

service. The seller shall deliver to the buyer a copy of this second Report. The buyer shall at 

the expense of the seller do all acts, deeds and things necessary to enable the second test to 

be carried out. If the animal shall be deemed fertile the buyer shall on demand repay the seller 

the veterinary surgeon fees of the second test and Report. 

6. If the ram is deemed incapable of natural and effective service during the Male Guarantee 

Period, the buyer may by 31st October of the year of the Sale return the animal to the seller and

thereupon the seller shall repay to the buyer the whole of the purchase price and the cost of 

transport of the animal from the buyer's premises to the seller's premises and the veterinary 

surgeon testing fees incurred by the buyer. 

7. The seller shall not be liable for any indirect or consequential loss howsoever sustained by a 

buyer. 

8. As to clauses 4 and 5 and 6 time is of the essence. 

9. The seller and the buyer may vary the provisions of clauses 4, 5,6, 7 and/or 8 if but only if 

and insofar as the variation is set out in writing and signed by each of the parties. 

10.The terms of any statutory enactment or custom or trade which are inconsistent with the 

provisions of this Bye-law 17 are hereby excluded. 

11. Failure to comply with any of Bye Law 17 will allow the Society, at its discretion, to cancel 

Society membership. 

12. Society Bye Laws do not exempt a breeder from the Sale and Supply of Goods Act.

Identifying Rams with Superior Breeding using 

Estimated Breeding Values (EBV) and Indexes

and feeding.

Explanation 

Selection on high EBVs for 8-week weight will result in faster 

growing lambs to weaning. 

This trait gives breeders the opportunity to influence the mature 

size of their flock. 

Selection on high positive figures will increase the number of 

lambs born in the flock. 

This is the maternal component of the 8-week weight 

measurement. High figures indicate breeding lines where 

females perform well as mothers – maternal care and milking 

ability. 

Selection on this trait will increase growth rate to scanning (21 

weeks of age). 

Choosing animals with high muscle depth EBVs will increase 

lamb muscularity and hence the lean meat content of the 

carcase. 

Selection for negative fat depth EBVs will reduce fat levels in the 

carcase or enable lambs to be taken to greater carcase weights 

without becoming over fat. 

Selection for high figures will enhance gigot muscularity. 

Animals with negative figures are more resistant to worms and 

excrete less worm eggs onto pasture.

The aim of Suffolk Recording is to work out how much of each animal’s 

performance is due to its breeding and this information is expressed using 

Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs) for specific traits. 

An overall Breeding Index incorporates the commercially economic important 

EBVs for Terminal Sires (growth, muscle and fat) whilst including gigot 

muscularity and an additional penalty for animals with very low fat depth 

EBVs. 

The Suffolk Breeding Index is presented as an economic value. This value, in 

pounds and pence, ranks animals according to the relative financial merit of 

their progeny. 

When buying a ram, buyers should use the Breed Benchmark to identify 

where an animal’s EBVs rank within the Breed.

animals EBVs will change over time.
