    The production ofsheep in Ecuador has made it necessary for producers to have tools and instruments that allow them to have a better criterion of management and control of their animals, seeking to make their production systems efficient, this study is located in the central area of the inter-Andean mountain range, Querochaca Experimental Farm, 15 female crossbred Corriedale sheep from the flock of the production system under study were used, aged between 24 and 48 months postpartumin lactation, in a system in free grazing with Kikuyo, consumption of water at will and mineral supplement, the production system was evaluated, based on a soil analysis, pasture bromatology, mineral serology and morphometry of the animals, descriptive statistics, analysis of means and comparison of reference values were used, The mean values of minerals in the blood of the sheep were Urea 23.59 mg/dl, P 7.55 mg/dl, Magnesium (Mg) 2.15 mg/dl, Calcium (Ca) 9.35 mg/dl and Total Protein (TP) 4.64 g/dl, differing from the values reported by other authors, the average WEIGHT of the ewes was 41.67 kg, DIAM TOR 79.83 cm, ALT GRUP 67 cm and ALT CRUZ 65.73 cm, ANT GRU 15.00 cm, POS GRU 12.00 cm, CHEST 6.33 cm, LENGTH/CANAL 39.87 cm, that were of medium variability, while DIA CAÑA 2.20 cm, had a low variability, the objective was to descriptively analyze the sheep production system, where we can conclude that from the data obtained the production system is semi-intensive, the genotype or race maintains its morphometric and phenotypic traits, corroborated by other authors. From the mineral analysis of soil, plant and blood chemistry, we can conclude that the relationship in the chain corresponds to this production system. The values obtained in this study for all parameters can function as values for other studies in the region, production system and sheep genotype.
