| dc.description | The profitability of early versus late lambs is the topic of this article. Generations of sheep producers have arguedbthe merits of the various “ideal” lambing dates. Setting his lambing date is a major decision every sheep producer in North Dakota must make. A trial was conducted to determine the relative merit of various lambing dates in terms of monetary return and costs involved and it's findings are presented here. The study concluded that there was no significant difference shown between the three experimental groups. Other factors, such as feed supply and availability of shelter and labor, must be considered of prime importance in selecting the most desirable lambing date for a specific unit. | |
