Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Factors Affecting Survival, Growth, and Selection of Lambs The selection of animals considered to be suitable for breeding was affected by the type and time of birth and birth weight of lambs. Single lambs were preferred to twins, early lambs to late ones, and lambs that were heavy at birth to lighter ones. Since these effects of birth factors are considered to be, for the most part, environmental in nature, their influence on the selection of genetically superior animals IS undesirable.
