As breeders we put our flock under a lot of worm pressure and they graze very old, low nutrient pastures with the aim of finding the individuals that stand out (through EBVs). However, I still think it is valuable to see how our sheep perform as a flock and this is some of the info we look at. We will keep adding data as the year goes on.
