High Pre-Mating Liveweights Improve The Lambing Performance Of Merino Ewes, R J. Suiter
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Analysis of lambing trials with Merino ewes has shown a highly significant association between pre-mating liveweight and lambing performance.
