Description:	Abstract: The aim of this study was to estimate genetic parameters for Santa Inês sheep’s weight during their birth (BW), weaning (WW), slaughter (SW) and at the age of one (W1). The data used in this study come from a flock which belongs to the company Gaasa Alimentos LTDA, located in Inhumás (a town in the Brazilian state of Goiás), and they are part of the Programme of Genetic Improvement of Goats and Sheep (GENECOC) managed by the company Embrapa Goats and Sheep. The parentage matrix used consisted of 13,440 animals.
