The Ranking of Active Sires (RAS) tool - a top-ranking tool for top-ranking sires!

The RAS list is published by NZAEL, an independent animal evaluation body working alongside breeding companies for greater genetic gains. NZAEL aims to achieve world-leading genetic gain for New Zealand dairy farmers and our national dairy herd. It utilises the best breeding traits to help farmers make informed breeding decisions for improved profitability and enhanced sustainability on their farms.
