[QUOTE="Agrivator, post: 7562510, member: 461"] Data produced by farmers, at least those relating to their own farms, isn't worth a jot. That is why it is essential in any research work involving livestock, the data are collected by trained recorders. There is little possibility that Romney ewes, regardless of the tup they are mated to, will produce twin lambs which grow at an average of 300gms daily from birth to (say) 42kg liveweight. Such an average growth rate won't even be achieved by ewes on clean grass which is kept in a vegetative and fertile state and with no limiting factor such as mineral deficiencies. If they were capable of such productivity, we all be tempted to keep them and ditch our own breeds and crosses. [/QUOTE]
