Standard reference weight is the liveweight of a fully grown, bare shorn, non-pregnant sheep in condition score three (CS3) with no gut fill (i.e. empty). Determining the standard reference weight (SRW) of your flock provides a useful comparison across a range of animals of varying liveweights and condition scores in order to make decisions about meeting their nutritional requirements for maintenance or growth. You can calculate the SRW of your flock using this calculator tool.
