Sheep is one of the important livestock commodities in Indonesia. Production of lamb is still low compared to beef and chicken meat. The objective of the research was to evaluate carcass characteristics and composition of fat tail sheep at different slaughter weight. This research was conducted using a total of twenty three fat tailed sheep rams. Six sheeps were slaughtered at 17.5 kg of live weight, five sheeps were slaughtered at 25 kg of live weight, seven sheeps were slaughtered at 32.5 kg of live weight and five sheeps were slaughtered at 40 kg of live weight. The data was analysed by Analysis of variance (ANOVA). The result showed that slaughter weight, empty body weight, weight and percentage of carcass DEG slaughtered at 40 kg is higher than others slaughter weight (P
