In this study, it was aimed that determination of udder measurements of Morkaraman, Tuj and Awassi ewes and the correlation between the results. Udder depth and width of the Awassi was higher than other breeds and respectively 13.09±0.32 cm, 14.07±0.43 cm. In Morkaraman, teats length (2.65±0.06 cm) and diameter of the teats (1.83±0.06 cm) were higher from other breeds. The important statistical difference was found between breeds for udder depth (P<0.05), very important statistical difference was found between breeds for udder height and teats diameter (P<0.01). In this study, teats length and teats diameter were above the limits specified for machine milking for Morkaraman, Tuj and Awassi.
