Results: Vali 10-907 was bought for AI in 2013 after performing very well at his birth fram. His progenies that were evaluated this autumn indicate that Vali carries on good weight but variable conformation. This variability can be noticed in eye muscle thickness, lamb evaluation and scoring and carcass grading. The results this autumn are in accordance with former results which are that Vali is performing better in carcass grading of progenies than evaluation on foot.
Color inheritance: Vali is heterozygous white but carries neither moorit or spotted.
Scrapie resistance genotype: Neutral.
