Getting The Best Out Of Weaner Sheep In The Eastern Wheatbelt, Sally Revell
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
A study of the growth of Merino weaner flocks over summer and autumn in Western Australia 's eastern wheatbelt during 1989 and 1990 has identified efficient weaner management strategies, and provided a basis for future research and extension needs of this area. The average liveweight of several weaner flocks was unexpectedly low at the start of summer. Weaner flocks may need to be supplemented before the start of summer to prevent undue weight loss at this time.
