This work was aimed at estimating genetic parameters from field-data recorded over a 26-year period (1974 to 1999) in a flock of Hampshire, Romney Marsh and Corriedale sheep. Genetic parameters were estimated from growth characteristics, wool production and reproduction. The models used included fixed effects, such as birth year, calving season, gender and number of births. Direct, maternal and permanent environmental genetic effects were also included in the random component, depending on the characteristic. MTGSAM® software (using Gibbs’ sampling algorithm) was used on a simple animal model for inferring variance components. Direct heritability values were found, ranging form 0.13 to 0.33 for birth weight, 0.16 to 0.35 for weaning weight (corrected to 120 days) and values around 0.25 for wool production. Annual mean tendency of genetic values and consanguinity indices were also determined for each of the breeds, resulting in 3.47% mean consanguinity for the Hampshire, 0.75% for Romney Marsh and 0.76% for Corriedale breeds. These results suggested a slight tendency for increased consanguinity values, but remaining in line with those expected for a conservation population.
