Measurements on 246 live lambs and carcasses were conducted using computer image analysis. Carcasses were classified on the EUROP scale by a British Meat and Livestock Commission classifier. Repeatability of the measurements was determined. Discriminant analysis was applied to predict correct conformation class.
