from 1926, showed early Corriedale ewe lambs were
phenotypically similar to a cross between Ryeland and
Southdown sheep. Since then both phenotypic and
productive traits have been dramatically improved. This
paper will review the history of the breed improvement in
NZ Corriedales from the perspective of a sheep breeder.
Prior to 1970 very little performance recording took
place in the Corriedale breed. There was however a huge
importance placed on phenotype with show ribbons and
certificates being highly sought after not only for prestige
among the breeder society but as they usually led to sales
of rams to commercial breeders.},
