The purpose of this paper is to summarise the work of two Working Parties of the European Association of Animal Production, the first of which surveyed the recording schemes for sheep which are operated in Europe, and the second which examined the selection strategies for sheep prevailing in European countries, and surveyed current procedures for estimation of breeding values. General details of recording schemes are presented for 20 countries. Information on selection and estimation of breeding value is presented for 17 countries.
