Our first ram sale was held in 2011 at Mynydd Gorddu near Aberystwyth.
2021 will be our 11th season of sales and since our original sale, we are now hosting 9
sales or selection days throughout the UK as well as events for Dalehead and Kepak.
Our rams are bred by more than 20 breeding partner flocks located throughout the
country and recording 10,000+ ewes. Each ram has gone through a rigorous selection
process before being deemed fit for sale and we regularly cull animals that do not
achieve the high standards we and our clients expect.
The Innovis breeding programme remains one of the largest globally.
NOTESBREEDING EWES FOR SALE

Innovis crossbred females.

PRODUCTIVE · PROFITABLE · PROGRESSIVEHEALTH PROTOCOL
Innovis understand that when selecting sheep for breeding, health is vitally important in ordered to
protect the productivity of your flock. Therefore, we operate a unique program to maximize health
and biosecurity of our whole ram production system, from the source flocks, through to growing
units and finally the rams for sale.
All breeding partner flocks are part of a health screening program where ewes are blood sampled
and some culled and screened for the major production limiting iceberg diseases through a
partnership with ‘Farm Post Mortems’. Further strategic screening is undertaken throughout the
year and tailored flock health plans ensure that all ram lambs have had a similar start to life.
The five main Iceberg diseases:
Maedi Visna (MV)
Our breeding partner flocks are either MV accredited with PSGHS or monitored on a proportional
testing program in line with the MV accreditation scheme but operated by Innovis. Please contact
our office if you specifically want MV accredited (PSGHS) stock. Innovis would implement a test
and cull protocol across the whole flock if one of our breeding flocks tested positive for MV until two
clear tests were achieved.
Borders Disease
In a ground-breaking initiative for our Sheep Industry, each ram has
been bled and certified as Borders Disease (PI) Negative. Any PI
positive ram would be culled albeit that none have been identified since
we started testing in 2017.
Caseous lymphadenitis (CLA)
All our breeding flocks are screened for CLA exposure annually and any
suspect abscesses on rams tested. Vaccination would be introduced if a
flock were identified with CLA.
Ovine pulmonary adenocarcinoma (OPA)
As there is no robust validated test, we monitor condition score of ewes
on a regular basis and post-mortem fallen stock or any ill-thrift animals
where possible. We are actively involved in trying to develop a more robust approach to diagnosis
and screening.
Johnes Disease
All retained ram lambs are vaccinated with ‘Gudair’ vaccine before five months of age, irrespective
of the flock Johnes status, to safeguard their working life to customers. We also monitor for Johnes
disease at multiplier flock level annually through faecal samples and post mortem reports.
Ram lambs move on to grower units, selected for good biosecurity and management systems -
each farm runs a grass and forage-based system and has a tailored health plan, meaning that each
ram for sale is grown under similar conditions.
Finally, to ensure our rams are fit for purpose, each ram undergoes a
pre-sale MOT to examine its suitability for breeding. This includes a
clinical examination together with palpation and visual inspection of the
external genitalia. Rams will leave our sales having had a quarantine
drench of either 4-AD = Monepantel (Zolvix™) or 5-SI = Derquantel /
abamectin (Startect™) in line with SCOPS guidelines. The rams will
have also received a trace element bolus and Pasteurella vaccination
booster pre-sale.
Sheep Scab – rams will have either been screened for exposure to
Scab (Psoroptes ovis antibody ELISA test) at a group level or plunge
dipped pre-sale.HOW TO FIND US
