Abstract
Failure of ewes to conceive during summer is one of the biggest problems affecting the early spring lamb producer. Workers at other stations have reported that 90 F temperatures lowered reproductive performance. This study was designed to determine the effects of forced exercise and temperature on reproductive performance of ewes.
