Abstract excerpt
Weaning weights at 60 (WW60) and 120 d (WW120), 60- to 120-d postweaning gains (PWG) for lambs weaned at 60 d, 120- to 365-d postweaning gains (YG) for lambs weaned at 120 d, fleece weights (FWT), and fiber diameters (FD) from 20 Targhee flocks were used to estimate parameters required for multiple-trait genetic evaluation. Flocks from western states (n = 10) recorded primarily WW60 (n = 1,762), WW120 (n =...
