Abstract

MOST investigations into the breeding season, of sheep in Britain have been concerned with the behaviour of females. Little attention has been paid to the desire or ability of males to mate at different times of the year, for it is generally considered that under temperate conditions there is no discernible non-breeding season in rams of the British breeds.
