In this study, the data of 1510 lambs born in a private sheep farm in Eregli district of Konya in 2018-2019 were evaluated. Birth type, birth times, birth weight and sex of lambs were investigated in this study. 892 of the lambs were born in 2018 and 618 of them were born in 2019. A total of 1510 lambs were born, 699 of them were born in singles, 761 in twins and 50 in triplets. The total number of sheep is 1096. 681 of the lambs were male and 829 were female. Of the environmental factors affecting birth weight, while the effect of the year was statistically insignificant (p <0.05), the effect of season, type of birth and sex was significant (p <0.01). Lambs born in spring have more live weight than those born in other seasons.
