	abstract = {The influence of preweaning growth rate on postweaning growth   and carcass grading characteristics was investigated in two experiments   with lambs at pasture. Differences in preweaning growth rate due to   within mob variation, feed allowance treatments or rearing rank had   small or no effects on postweaning growth when lambs were offered the   same pasture allowance per unit of liveweight or per head after weaning.   Therefore lambs with slower preweaning growth rates had lighter   carcasses at a common age (P<0.01) or were older at a common weight   (P<0.05). Carcass GR measurements were not significantly influenced by   preweaning growth rates when compared at the same carcass weight and   slaughter date. An increase in weight-adjusted GR measurements was   observed over autumn.    },
