our service rams are kept separate
from the flock during the breeding
season and only turned with the ewes
for a short time each day. during

e emily we have no difficulty in keep
ing an accurate record Of the time OF

lambs. the period Of CESSATION has
ranged from 140 to 156 days. and the
greatest number. 113 ewes. or 11.6 pen

day after service; the next greatest
number. 81 ewes, or 15.5 per cent

dropped their lambs between the 144th

which would at least suggest that these
extreme periods were abnormal From
the data here given. representing as II
does the various breeds Of sheep We
feel quite Justified In stating that the
extreme range OF the normal period of
CESSATION in breeding ewes Is thirteen
days beginning at 1f2 and extending To
154 days after service.
We may also safely conclude tha1
the greatest number Of ewes may b
expected to drop their lambs At least
six days earlier than was found By
Tessier to be the case with breeding
ewes IN France. This difference may
Be accounted for, IN part At least. BY
