The aim of the study was to take measures for the conservation of the local coarse-wooled sheep gene pool and to investigate their biological and farming qualities. The sheep were evaluated for their exterior, weight, fertility, growth rate of lambs, yield and chemical composition of milk, wool production and its quality. The evaluation methods are described. The resulting evaluation data are presented in tables. The study indicated that the local coarsewooled sheep are larger in size and produce more wool of higher quality in comparison with aboriginal sheep.
