Data on 2077 sheep from randomly selected 60 villages spread over to 12 strata’s from 3 districts of Maharashtra (Ahamadnagar, Pune and Sholapur) were collected in the prescribed format and statistically analyzed for studying reproduction and production traits. Average age at first oestrus, average age at first mating, age at first lambing, lambing interval and average life time lambing number were recorded to be 10.67±0.05months, 11.89±0.05months, 15.67±0.04months, 288.29±1.06days and 2.91±0.03 respectively. The overall average of milk on day07 and day50 after lambing were found to be 262.79±4.32 and 133.14±2.67 respectively. In breeding males average age at first mating was recorded as 14.39±0.09 months. Total 444 wool samples were sent to North Temperate Regional Station (NTRS) for wool analysis. The mean greasy fleece weight was observed to be very less (496±112.17 grams) in Deccani sheep. Overall average fiber diameter was 50.16±0.55micron. The overall average of medullation percentage was observed to be 65.71%. Overall staple length was 4.21±0.06 cm. Overall fraction of lustrous wool was 25.99% and non-lustrous type 74.21%.
