Carrying prime lambs through summer

Abstract

The annual lamb glut in September- October has caused many farmers to show interest in feed lotting and other methods of carrying over prime lambs for a higher priced market. Unfortunately however, little information has been available on the necessary techniques under Western Australian conditions. This report presents the results of the first year of a trial being conducted at Chapman Research Station to examine some of the problems associated with carrying lambs through the summer for later marketing
