Abstract: 

Carcass value and its components were evaluated for a range of Merino sires based on progeny performance in diverse climates and production systems. Sire adjusted means for carcass value had a range of $31.33 under a mixed farming system while the range under a fine wool production system was $62.48. This preliminary analysis shows that considerable variation exists in carcass value of individual Merino sires when based on a simple economic model.
