Abstract
A SITUATION provoking speculation has been found during the course of a preliminary investigation of one-shear (1½-year old) rams offered for sale at tho Feilding Stud Ram Fair. Stock entered in the Fair, the most important of its kind in New Zealand, come from the Manawatu and neighbouring Wairarapa and Hawke's Bay districts and are purchased by breeders throughout New Zealand, Australia and South America. Data used in these analyses were derived from the catalogues of the 1948, 1949 and 1950 sales and the 1948 Flock Book of the New Zealand Romney Marsh Breed Society.
