It is situated 17 km far from Sisian. The majority of members live in Darbas village and there is a problem of transport of members. Presently Darbas IGA group has 177 ewes, 7 rams and 85 lambs. At the end of April 2005 the group will receive 15 ewes and 15 lambs as investment from ACF-E. From the 207 sheep, it is intended to produce 202 lambs. The birthing season is from November to February. The newborn lambs are fed with milk, grains and grass. 70- 80% of the lambs are sold and the rest are kept for reproduction, using a selective process to improve the breeding stock. The lambs will be sold at 3-4 month having weight of 10-12 kg. In regard to wool production, the sheep are sheared in May and the lambs in August. The group purchased a shearing machine that allows for increasing, quality production. The group can produce 300 kg of sheep wool and 30-40 kg of lamb wool annually. The wool is sold in August.
