Responses to various selection protocols for lamb production in Rambouillet, Targhee, Columbia, and Polypay sheep.

Journal of animal science - 1 May 1998

Ercanbrack S K, Knight A D

Abstract excerpt

To investigate the effectiveness of four selection protocols for improving reproduction in sheep, we evaluated nine selection lines and two random-bred control lines for lamb and wool production. Results were based on 25,026 dam and 30,628 lamb records from Rambouillet (R), Targhee (T), Columbia (C), and Polypay (P) sheep collected from 1976 through 1988. Phenotypic trends over years were positive (P < .01) for...
