Number of lambs born to 3 breeds on 3 farms

Usage

data("mead.lamb")

Format

A data frame with 36 observations on the following 4 variables.

farm

farm: F1, F2, F3

breed

breed: B1, B2, B3

lambclass

lambing class: L0, L1, L2, L3

y

count of ewes in class

Details

The data 'y' are counts of ewes in different lambing classes. The classes are number of live lambs per birth for 0, 1, 2, 3+ lambs.
