The investigations were carried out in a sheepfold located in the Pomeranian Province, Poland. Sheep were evaluated in terms of reproduction traits of ewes, nursing success, and the weight at birth of their lambs. The herd achieved a generally high level of reproduction traits, similar to reference values for the breed published by the Polish Sheep BreedingAssociation for the years 2005–2009. The mean fertility index for the studied period remained at a level 78.2%, prolificacy 133.8%, and lamb nursing success 86.8%, whereas the mean index of reproduction performance was 90.8%. Equally high values were observed for the growth of the offspring. Until 75 days of age, both body weight and daily gains of singles were higher compared to those of lambs born from multiple births. The ram lambs attained higher body weight and daily gains as compared to the ewe lambs of the same age.
