Abstract :This study was carried out to determine some wool yield characteristics and post-shearing live weight of 35 head Hamdani and 40 head Karakaş sheep reared in fully extensive conditions in Central Budakli village of Hakkari province.In the study, the results for length insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Hauter);, length insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Barbie);, elasticity, fineness, strength, clean fleece percentage, greasy fleece weight and post-shearing live weight were found to be; 42.38 mm-40.51 mm-, 58.25 mm-54.64 mm, 32.34%-32.31%, 36.64 μ-37.62 μ, 36.15 cN tex -34.80 cN tex, 63.88%-65.94%, 2.12 kg-1.84 kg and 60.33 kg-48.55 kg respectively in Hamdani and Karakaş ewes.In Hamdani sheep, the correlation between elasticity and strength insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.499); and between greasy fleece weight and post-shearing live weight insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.599); was very significant insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.01);. In Karakaş sheep, the highest positive correlation was found between Barbie and Hauter lengths insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.925);. The correlation was found between elasticity and strength insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.549); and between greasy fleece weight and post-shearing live weight insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.471); very significant insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.01); in Karakaş sheep. As a result, it has been understood that Karakaş and Hamdani sheep fleeces are classified as coarse wool.
