    A study was carried out to investigate growth pattern and productivity of female Wonosobo sheep. This study involved 151 female Wonosobo sheep aged from 0-7 days to 48 months. Data collected were including the growth pattern of body weight and body measurements (heart girth, body length, chest depth, chest width, shoulder height, hip height), and ewes productivity (birth weight, weaning weight, litter size, lambing interval, age of first mating and age of first lambing). The data obtained were analyzed statistically and descriptively. The results showed that body weight and body measurements of female Wonosobo sheep increased with age until 36 months of age. Their body measurements and weight were higher than those of local breeds in Indonesia. The average values of Wonosobo ewes productivity were: litter size was 1.45 heads, lambing interval was 9.48 months, age of the first mating was 9.82 months, age of first lambing was 15.86 months, lambs' birth weight was 2.81 kg and lambs' weaning weight was 31.20 kg. It was concluded that female Wonosobo sheep had a medium body size and good productivity.
