Adaptability of breeds of rams and breed-types of range ewes to market lamb production in Kansas.

Bell, T.D.; Holland, L.A.; Gardner, A.W.
Western ewes of the three predominant types (Texas ewes or finewools,

Northwest Blackface Crossbreds, and Northwestern Whiteface

Crossbreds) commonly found in Kansas were obtained as ewe lambs

in the fall of 1951 and bred to Hampshire, Suffolk, Shropshire, and

Southdown rams four seasons. A different set of rams has been used

each year, and the ewes are being rotated so that no ewes are bred to

the same breed of ram each year. Lamb-production and wool-production

records are being obtained from the different types of ewes, and

lamb-production figures are being obtained for the four sire groups.
