	abstract = {Seasonal wool growth pattern and fleece characteristics of  Doreset x Romney ewes lambing in either autumn or spring and rearing 0,  1 or 2 lambs were measured over 2 years. The ewes were shorn twice-  yearly in March and October.   Season of lambing influenced the seasonal pattern of wool growth.  Autumn lambing ewes did not show as marked a seasonal decline in wool  growth during the winter. March shorn fleeces were coarser (2.5 um),  stronger (20 N/ktex), and yellower (1.1 Y-Z units) than October shorn  fleeces of October shorn spring lambing ewes. On the basis of price  trends over the last 5 years, net wool returns from autumn lambing ewes  would exceed those from spring lambing ewes by approximately  80c/ewe/year.  },
