The animals carried at bonituvanny to the I class, had the following condition of a wool cover: length of wool on the average at ewes - 8.35 cm, at bright - 8,84 cm; overgrowth and wool density are on average satisfactory. Equality (urvennost) wool on the fleece and the presence of sweat met the minimum requirements for local animals. In terms of overall development, the vast majority of animals (78%) received a satisfactory score.

The distribution of wool thickness of ewes allocated to the first class, with a wool thickness of 56 quality was 41.84%, 50 quality - 46.73%, and 48 quality - 11.43%, respectively bright, 42.19; 56.25; 1.56%.
