ANIMALS USED 
^ The lambs used in the test were bought on the Denver 
'■ market, October 27th. They came from southern Colorado, 
and were of good grade, representing the average type of 
! feeder lamb found in the northern Colorado feed yards. About 
i forty per cent were of fine wool foundation while the rest 
showed the Hampshire or Shropshire characteristics, having 
black faces and blocky forms. 
\ 1 / methods used in test 
The lambs were divided into eight lots of thirty-two each, 
care being taken to equalize the pens with regard to weight, 
sex. breeding and condition. The lots were kept in adjoining 
pens running north and south enclosed by a four-foot board 
fence, which with the hay self feeders served as a wind-break 
Block salt and fresh water were kept before the lambs at all 
times. 
At the beginning and end of the test, weights were taken 
on three consecutive days, the average of these being used. 
Individual weights were secured at the end of each thirty-day 
period.
