N2  - The associations between 10 production characters and fertility at the R blood group, haemoglobin, and transferrin loci have been examined in two flocks of South Australian Merino sheep. The production characters were birth weight, hogget body weight, hogget wrinkle score, greasy fleece weight, clean fleece weight, staple length, degree of crimp, fibre diameter, fleece density, and skin thickness. No evidence of any real association was found. The significant associations which were found are ascribed either to chance or to the impossibility of eliminating sire effects from the analysis.
