Abstract

LAMB marking is the most severe of the various ordeals that sheep are called upon to endure.

It is a series of surgical operations, each involving a risk of infection, and some involving risks of severe haemorrhage.

Growth rate is reduced to the same extent by rubber rings as by the knife.
