Clair Elman Terrill (1910-2001), a worldwide leader in sheep production research, was the chief of USDA's Sheep and Fur Animal Research Branch, Animal Husbandry Division, Agricultural Research Service, from 1955 to 1972. He developed a strategy for increasing the efficiency of meat production from sheep without increasing feed demands, which consisted of a three-pronged approach: genetically increasing the birth rate, removing low-producing adults at an early age, and reducing lamb mortality.
