In this paper h2 of reproductive traits of Tsigai sheep have been estimated. Average values of body weight at birth, age of dam at first lambing and number of lambs at first lambing have been shown. h2 and SEh2 for mentioned traits have been calculated by intra-class correlation method. The results showed significance differences between sexes in body weight at birth. h2 for examined traits was mainly low. Choosing adequate method of selection, using rams from the other herds and providing optimal environmental conditions, could improve reproductive traits of Tsigai sheep.
