Morphological Characterization of Merino Sheep in Different Agro‐Ecological Zones of Lesotho
The Lesotho Merino sheep is a native Merino strain formed from the indigenous fat‐tailed sheep through crossbreeding over many generations. This study is aimed at phenotypically characterizing Merino sheep locally bred in four agro‐ecological zones of Lesotho, facilitating easy selection based on morphological traits. Body weight (BW), body length (BL),
