The average prolificacy of ewes was 119% and the influence of year was not found significant for prolificacy (P>0,05). The average birth weight of male lambs was 4.51 kg, and female lambs 4.36 kg. At the age of 35 days the average body weight of male lambs was 12.12 kg and females 11,7 kg. At the end of the fattening period (58 days) the final weight of lambs was 18.50 kg.
