Growth performance and carcass traits of forage-fed hair sheep wethers

The objective of the presebt study was to compare live animal performance and carcass characteristics of ¾ or 7/8 Dorper (DO; n-30), purebred Katahdin (KA; n=20), purebred st. Croix (SC; n=17) and purebred Suffolk (SU; n=10) lambs born in the spring and fall of 2001. After weaning, lambs were supple...
