This is exactly what Prof John Robinson was saying some 30+ years ago. What he actually was saying is that the genetics of a specific sheep in terms of growth rates prolificacy etc is effected very strongly by what happens to that sheep in its first 14 days of existence as an embryo. I am no scientist so I have no idea why etc. What I do know was that John was a total genius who had a massive effect on the sheep industry through his work on reproduction and nutrition firstly at the Rowett Research Institute and then at SRUC
