The dataset consists of a TSV file consisting of 209 rows and 54 columns and contains the following information: information about the herd and its localisation (type of village, village number, household number), information about the ewe (pseudonymized ID, age, number of lambs in total, number of lambs this litter, body condition score, presence of fleece contamination and presence of clinical signs of disease), information about the lamb (pseudonymized ID, sex, age at first weighing, number of siblings, weight at first weighing and presence of clinical signs of disease), and the weight of the lamb at one, two, three, four and five months of age. The body condition of the ewe is indicated using a five degree scale from 1 (very thin) to 5 (obese).

The dataset contains information on the same herds as in dataset SND-ID: 2020-185.
