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.},

	abstract = {A study carried out on eight farms examined the effect of crossing the present flock (Corriedale or Romney) with East Friesians. Crossing East Friesian over Corriedales increased fibre diameter from 28.5{\textpm}0.1 {\textmu}m to 31.7{\textpm}0.2 {\textmu}m compared with straightbred Corriedales. Inclusion of up to {\textthreequarters} East Friesian breeding over Romneys reduced the fibre diameter from 36.3{\textpm}0.4 {\textmu}m to 31.4{\textpm}1.3 {\textmu}m compared with straightbred Romneys. The effect on bulk of crossing East Friesians over Corriedale was variable. Based on an average wool price of 500c/kg clean for 28 {\textmu}m Corriedale hogget fleece wool between 94/95 and 98/99, a change of 3.0 {\textmu}m is likely to reduce the expected wool price by approximately 7\%. Based on an average wool price of 400 c/kg clean for 36 {\textmu}m Romney hogget fleece wool, a change of 4.0 {\textmu}m is likely to increase the expected wool price by approximately 13\%.},
