Study of average performances in a population have a huge importance because, regarding to a population, the average of phenotypic value is equal with average of genotypic value. So, the studies of the average value of characters offer us an idea about the population genetic level. This study have the principal purpose to analyze heavy weight in young rams because this indicator is used in selection process. The biological material is represented by a sample of 327 lambs from Teleorman’s Black Head Sheep, exploited, at different ages, breed in Braila County.. The average performances of character is presented in the paper. We can observe an important grade of variability with some differences between gain classes. The average performances of the characters are very good and between characteristic limits of the breed.
