Phenotypic and genetic associations between lamb growth traits and adult ewe body weights in western range sheep.

Journal of animal science - 1 Nov 2009

Borg R C, Notter D R, Kott R W

Abstract excerpt

Data from the Montana State University Targhee flock were used to estimate genetic and environmental relationships between lamb BW and adult ewe BW, condition score, and prolificacy. The flock was managed under commercial western range conditions typical of the area. Data included records from 12,154 lambs born to 2,930 dams and 200 rams between 1960 and 2005. Lamb traits included BW at birth and approximately 45...
