Genetic and phenotypic parameters of body weight, greasy fleece weight, clean yield, clean fleece weight, fiber diameter and coefficient of variation of fiber diameter (CVF) at first shearing were estimated in two Patagonian Merino flocks. The nucleus flock of Pilcaniyeu, used for progeny testing of rams from different bloodlines and the ram breeding flock of Leleque, a traditional Merino stud with a high proportion of home bred sires. All heritabilities, except for CVF, were larger and all genetic correlations with fiber diameter, except for CVF, were smaller in Pilcaniyeu than in Leleque. Parameters for Leleque were in better agreement with published estimates and are suggested for application in traditional ram breeding flocks lacking ow...
