Abstract :
The study was conducted on Awassi sheep by using 150 records of greasy fleece weight which collected through 2010 to 2013 from the flock reared in college of agriculture / kufa university. Two methods were used to estimate repeatability, simple correlation and analysis of variance. The results showed the estimates of repeatability of the year 2010 – 2011 , 2010 – 2012 and 2011 – 2012 were 0.42 ,0.53 and 0.76 respectively . Also the results revealed that the repeatability of greasy fleece weight which estimated by variance analysis method was 0.49 , this value was higher than value estimated by correlation method which being 0.44.
