Performance of hair breeds and prolific wool breeds of sheep in southern Illinois: lamb production of F1 adult ewes.

Journal of animal science - 1 Jun 1995

Bunge R, Thomas D L, Nash T G

Abstract excerpt

Two- and three-year-old F1 crossbred ewes produced from Suffolk and Targhee dams and sires of the prolific wool breeds of Finnsheep, Combo-6, and Booroola Merino and the hair breeds of St. Croix and Barbados were pasture-mated to Dorset rams over a 4-yr period at the Dixon Springs Agricultural Center in Southern Illinois. Booroola Merino sires were homozygous for the FecB allele for high number of ovulations. The...
