Prof Daniel Brown explains that being a twin means you produce less wool, and are small all through life. A lifetime effect.
Twins are also broader early in life, but the effect reduces.
Important to record birth and rearing type to support all assessment types. #MLPProfect

Mernowie complete drop of lambs recently had visual scoring- colour/character of wool, plus dag scoring completed. This info will be available as an asbv for next years sale along with WEC. If sheep are going to be easy care these welfare traits are a must.
