Abstract

Five treatment groups of 40 fine Merino wethers were offered grazing regimes over 2 treatment periods, to achieve a range of liveweight profiles. The first was from 16 October 1990 to 21 December 1990 while the second continued until 29 August 1991. Treatment period 1 generated significant differences in liveweight (P<0.001) between all groups and thereafter the sheep were grazed in 2 larger mobs consisting of groups 1-3 and 4 and 5. By the end of the first period liveweights were 48
