Abstract
IN the summer rainfall region of the pastoral areas lambs are too often born too late to ensure their survival.
In good seasons with a fair measure of winter rain more late lambs will survive, but losses are still serious. The only solution to this problem is to make sure lambs drop in May-June.
But the presence of late and often unmarked lambs at mating time is a disturbing influence, which makes it hard to advance the established mating pattern.
