	abstract = {128 carpet wool ewes, Romneys and Merinos of between 12 and 30  months of age, were set stocked for 13 months on a property at Oberon  NSW. Live weights (LW) for Carpetmasters, Drysdales, Romneys and  Tukidales were similar with Elliottdales being slightly lighter and the  Merinos lighter again, giving rise to significant breed effects for maximum  live weight (LW MAX) and minimum live weight (LW MIN). Wool growth  (WG) of each breed was similar during winter, with significant differences  between breeds appearing during summer. Breed had a significant effect on  amplitude of live weight (LW AMP) and wool growth (WG AMP). There is  a strong positive correlation between LW MAX and LW MIN and negative  correlations between LW MIN and LW AMP, and minimum wool growth  (WG MIN) and WG AMP. Regression analysis for predicting WG from LW  and change in LW was unsuccessful with low R2(\%) values especially  during winter. It appears that nutritional influence on WG during winter may  be minimal.  },
