Summary. The response of 96 weaner, crossbred lambs to oat grain on lucerne pasture was examined where they were fed in single sex ewe or cryptorchid groups or in mixed sex groups. All groups had a similar profile of weights (range 16–34 kg). Intakes of lucerne and air dry oats fed daily in troughs at 300 g/head and later at 200 g/head were estimated at intervals over 4 weeks commencing 4 weeks after weaning. Overall mean (± s.e.) growth rate (cryptorchid 144 ± 6 v. female 115 ± 7 g/day) of cryptorchid or female lambs was not significantly different when fed as a single sex group or combined.
