Totally 489 ewes were examined, included 151 ewes of Corriedale Sheep, 154 ewes of Żelaźnieńska Sheep and 184 ewes of Polish Lowland Sheep of Podlasie Region. Among 37 of all examined rams were: 10 rams of Corriedale Sheep, 13 rams of Żelaźnieńska Sheep and 14 rams of Polish Lowland Sheep of Podlasie Region. Ewes were aged from 2 to 10 years, and the rams were aged from 2 to 8 years. Animal of both sexes were weighed and the body measurements at live animals were collected according to Fiszdon i Niżnikowski (1996). Based on the survey it was found: leveled body weight in all sheep breeds within sexes, the heigher value of measurement of head and foreshank in Corriedale Sheep, the broadest and deepest chest and smaller length of body in Żelaźnieńska Sheep and the higher withers height in Polish Lowland Sheep of Podlasie region.
