Abstract

During the 1984 manual Farmer's Show, the face cover score of 316 Merino, Polwarth, Merilin, Corriedale and Romney Marsh sheep was recorded. A diagramatic standard ranging from 2 to 9 was used to score face cover. The averge score of face caver of male and female sheep was: Merino, 5,25 ± 0,45; Polmarth, 6.50 ± 0.59; Merilín, 7,41 ± 0,62; Curriedale, 7,37 ± 0,68 and Romney Marsh, 7,31 ± 0,54.

Average commercial flocks do not produce their ewe rams buy buy them at this Show; there are not enough open face sheep to significantly reduce face cover of commercial flocks in a short time.
