As a result of the research works it was found that the meat content in the carcass of grown-up sheep is 60.05% of the total carcass weight with average ranging rates and high variability. The variability of bone and suet content indicators were relatively high - C=24.930 and C=28.007% respectively. The prevailing colour in the meat of grown-up sheep was white - 73.34 %. The water retention ability of meat was better developed with grown-up animals. The variability of all indicators of the physical and chemical composition of meat, with the exception of fats, were very low and ranged in the limits from 3.031% to 10.719% with fats variability coefficient being rather high - C=31.436%.
