dc.description.abstract	A grazing study was conducted on irrigated pastures to assess the influence of manipulating the availability of green pasture at different stages of pregnancy and lactation on the staple strength of broad-wool Merino ewes lambing in July. Sheep subjected to different treatments produced wool ranging between 14 and 48 N/ktex for single-rearing and 22 and 53 N/ktex for non-lambing ewes. Single-bearing/rearing ewes produced wool of strength +4.7 (
