Abstract
A comparison of 3 systems of creep grazing, at a stocking rate of 6 ewes and 12 lambs per acre, indicated that lambs on a set‐stocking management with a lateral creep area grew at a significantly (P < 0·05) slower rate than lambs folded with a lateral creep area or those rotationally grazed with a forward creep area. A similar difference was apparent in the ability of the managements to maintain the ewes liveweights. However, it is suggested that these results were not the direct outcome of the applied treatments per se. Parasite burdens in the lambs were low on all the treatments and there were no significant differences between them.
