	abstract = {Seasonal wool growth and staple strength were measured in mature, non-pregnant Romney ewes individually penned indoors or confined as a group in a yard outdoors and offered a maintenance ration of lucerne chaff. Clean wool growth was lowest during winter (4.6 and 5.0 g/d for indoor and outdoor ewes, respectively) and greatest during summer for indoor (11.3 g/d) or spring for outdoor (11.9 g/d) ewes. Efficiency of wool growth (g wool growth/d per kg dry matter intake/d) for indoor sheep was 5.6, 8.8, 11.8 and 7.8 during winter, spring, summer and autumn, respectively. There were positive relationships between mean wool growth, staple strength and efficiency.},

	abstract = {Calves were removed for 48 hours from cows at 2 localities in 1978. Removal shortened the interval from calving to first oestrus at both localities. It shortened the interval from calving to conception and advanced the 1979 calving date at the locality which had the better level of nutrition. Weaning weights of the removed calves were depressed at both localities. The intervals from calving to first oestrus were affected at both localities by dam age and breed, 1978 calving date and condition score at removal.},
