Add to ORKGObjective measurements and visual classing results from progeny of rams used in the 1990 and 1991 New England (fine wool) Sire Evaluation Scheme are presented. The information is linked across years by the use of reference or link sires. The effect of different weightings being given to hogget and adult (four-tooth) progeny results is studied. For the objectively measured traits the choice of weighting does not affect the ranking of rams as the correlations for estimated sire means between ages are very high. The correlations across ages for visually assessed traits were also high
