	abstract = {intake and liveweight change of 7-month hoggets was measured when ad lib grazing steep hill pastures containing 10, 40 and 50\% dead matter above 2 cm, in autumn. Two groups of 24 sheep from a "biological" and a "conventional" farming system were used in the trial. Digestible organic matter intake/kg liveweight and liveweight change were affected by dead matter content (P<0.05) but were similar for biological and conventional hoggets (P>0.1) despite high faecal egg counts in biological sheep. Better performance on high quality pasture was attributed to a higher organic matter digestibility and lower dead matter content in the diet, possibly due to the greater accessibility of green matter in the grazed horizons.},
