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

Bell, T.D.; Holland, L.
Western ewes of the three predominant types (Texas ewes or fine

wools, Blackface crossbreds, and Northwestern Whiteface crossbreds)

commonly found in Kansas were secured as ewe lambs in the fall of

1951 and bred to Hampshire, Suffolk, Shropshire, and Southdown rams

two seasons. A different set of yearling rams has been used each year

and the ewes are being rotated so that the same ewes are not 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.
