ABSTRACT. Due to the relevance of carcass and meat quality traits as breeding objectives of Texel as sire terminal breed, a progeny testing was implemented. In general, these difficult to measure traits have received less attention despite their economic relevance, particularly in more extensive environments in which sheep production is mainly located. Carcass traits were recorded on 424 female and male lambs: Hot Carcass Weight (HCW), most valuable cuts (French Rack, Shoulder and Leg weights), morphometrics traits (Carcass and Leg length, Leg Circumference) and GR (indicator of carcass fatness). Traits as Scanning weight, Rib Eye Area and Fat Thickness are routinely in vivo recorded in the genetic evaluation system and genetic parameters were estimated with 3.109 records by a multivariate analysis. Estimated Progeny Difference (EPD) for in vivo and post-mortem carcass traits was performed. Heritability estimates were of moderate to high magnitude, in agreement with other studies. Although results confirm that there is a scope for genetic improvement, these preliminary values should be interpreted with caution because of the low number of animals. All correlations between EPD were positive and favourable except for fatness traits that depend heavily on factors such as the production system and the target market.
