The urgent necessity of preservation and development of the local gene pool of sheep led to the formulation of research task about the forecasting of the market needs in the pedigree sheep high breeding value of different areas of productivity and marketing of these products. The aim of research was to determine the resource potential of the native pedigree sheep breeding. To ensure a qualitative improvement of the native sheep breeding is necessary to grow each year and to implement 40 thousand heads of breeding sheep of different directions of productivity. In crisis conditions, sheep breeding not lost its productive qualities at the leading breeding farms. In general, the live weight and wool clip of reproductive herd of ewes lambs and yearlings rams not only meet the requirements of the presented to them, but also exceed them, indicating a high genetic potential and adaptability to the environment. In addition, analysis of the species composition of the mothers' breeding stock of sheep testifies to its proportional on the number of distribution, that is, in Ukraine there are equal opportunities for the development of each of the directions of sheep breeding. To improve the quality of sheep breeding is necessary to create a market of products by producing and directed growing of breeding rams within the limits that will ensure the needs of the agricultural enterprises of different ownership forms.
