This is a high rusticity livestock whose yield can be increased with a genetic selection aimed toward greater racial purity. There is a willingness to use the quality mark, although the associations both in the production and marketing is low. The generational change could be increased if it can improve the medium-term growth performance of farms with production policies based on quality. Ternasco de Aragón, could be a good reference face to inspire improvement measures for distributing the new IGP Cordero Segureño.
