Nellore breed is the tallest sheep bread of India and widely distributed in the Andhra Pradesh. An attempt was made to study the growth performance of Nellore sheep at various growth stages under organized farm conditions. Nellore brown is completely brown in colour with little hair except at brisket, withers and breech regions on the body. Least square analysis showed significant influence of the body weight at birth, 3rd, 6th, 9th and 12 months of age.
