Abstract
The native fat-tailed Awassi and the imported German Mutton Merino (GMM) sheep are well adapted to semi-arid conditions (Degen, 1977; Degen and Shkolnik, 1978). This enables these sheep to graze large areas of the Negev Desert in Israel that is marginal for farming. However, under extensive conditions both these sheep breeds yield low lamb crops producing fewer than 1·0 lamb per ewe per year.
