Abstract
There is a greater need for increased efficiency in sheep industry than there has been at any other time. Increased costs for labor, equipment, feed, marketing etc. take more of the producers dollar while at the same time production remains about the same. The average lamb crop for this year in the United States is 92%, 2% below 1966. Lambing percentage must be stepped up and overall efficiency increased if we are to meet the increased operating cost
