[QUOTE="Sandpit Farm, post: 3505418, member: 1646"] The only addition I would make is that I believe this project is interested in management effects and the need to manage the young ewes better to increase output and prolong life. So the replacements don't need to be homebred. I was told that 40% of light lambs come from 1st lambing ewes. How could we improve this? Also there was a staggering % of ewes that don't make it to their second lambing. Totally agree with the hill sheep point... I think this is being addressed genetically with another project. [/QUOTE]
