ABSTRACT
Data on 4186 lambs pertaining to 94 rams of Rambouillet and their crosses over the ten years (1998-2007) at Government Sheep Breeding and Research Farm, Reasi, Jammu, were studied. The averages were 1.49±0.009 kg, 5.52±0.02 cm and 21.25±0.01 µ for greasy fleece weight (GFW), staple length (SL) and fiber diameter (FD) respectively. The highest CV (%) was observed for greasy fleece weight where as the lowest CV (%) was observed for fiber diameter. The least-squares means were 1.51±0.02 kg, 5.64±0.04 cm and 21.27±0.03 µ for greasy fleece weight, staple length, and fiber diameter respectively. The effect of year of lambing had significant effect (Pex.
