Measures of temperament are highly repeatable in Merino sheep and some are related to maternal behaviour

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 ASAP Conference Proceedings collection, published in the Proceedings of the Australian Society of Animal Production.
