A preliminary genetic analysis of breech and tail traits with the aim of improving the welfare of sheep

This is the catalogue record for a paper the old Livestock Library listed. We have not written a summary of it yet. The panel gives its full citation and, where we could confirm one, a link to where it can be read today.

It belongs to the Crop and Pasture Science collection, published in the Australian Journal of Agricultural Research.
