Summary

Participants in this Producer Research Support project to explore targeted lamb production are better positioned to more confidently supply different markets by changing their lamb production and marketing management. First-hand experience of the production of cryptorchid lambs, including an appreciation of improved management techniques and the likely effect on growth rate and carcase characteristics, was learnt by members of the Woolsthorpe and District Prime Lamb Group.
