Data were collected from 108 Awassi sheep maintained at the state farm of Gozlu in Konya Province. The 2 data sets were formed for the analysis. One of the set (X set) was consisted of wool traits that were Fleece Weight (FW), Staple Length (SL), Fibre Length (FL), average number of crimps over a length of 5 cm (ANC) and Wool Fineness (WF) and the other set (Y set) was constituted of Milk Yield (MY), Lactation Period (LP), Milking Period (MP), Average Daily Milk Yield (ADMY) and Maximum Daily Milk Yield (MDMY). The first canonical correlation coefficient between the 2 sets was 0.4473 (p>0.05) and the 2nd was 0.3203 (p>0.05). ER -
