Age structure

Status

Disposition of every recorded animal.

Sex ratio

Active population.

Reproduction

Conception type (inner ring) and litter size (outer ring).

Average litter size (natural service): 2.1

Birth seasonality

Active animals by birth month.

Breeding concentration

How offspring are distributed across sires. A long tail means a few sires dominate — the picture behind effective population size.

The most-used 10% of sires produced 41% of recorded offspring.

Herd sizes

Active animals per owner — whether the breed sits with a few large operations or many smallholders.

Generation interval

Age of parents at offspring birth across the population.

All figures describe the currently recorded population and update as records change. Ownership is shown only as a distribution, never as named holdings.
