Reproductive performance of dorset ewes in the star accelerated lambing system

Reproductive performance of Dorset ewes in the Cornell University STAR accelerated lambing program was evaluated. This program consists of five 30-d concurrent breeding and lambing periods per year beginning on January 1 (Sl) , March 15 (S2), May 27 (S3) , August 8 (S4) and October 20 (S5). Optimall...
