Top Rams Lists
The Top rams lists allow purebred producers to easily find the best evaluated rams on the GenOvis program. Only the top 10% of animals for each breed will be displayed here (Top Rams).
Maternal and prolific rams are selected on the following genetic indexes:
- Maternal Index (MAT)
- Maternal Ultrasound Index (MAT-U)
- Maternal Higher Prolificacy Index (MAT-HP)
- Maternal Ultrasound Higher Prolificacy Index (MAT-UHP)
Terminal rams are selected on the following genetic indexes:

Top Rams In Proof
Young rams under 2 years of age that have the selected genetic index value of equal to or greater than 90%. These rams must also be indicated as retained for breeding for use within the flock or for sale. Must of them don’t have progeny but some may have a maximum of 9 progeny evaluated on GenOvis. Rams displayed on these lists can also be older than 2 years of age only if they had progeny within the last year.
Proven Top Rams
Rams under 5 years of age, that have a minimum of 10 progeny recorded and weighed in GenOvis and a selected genetic index value of equal to or greater than 90%. Rams older than 5 years of age can also be displayed if they had progeny within the last year.
