Abstract
The article describes the physique and exterior of Romanov rams. In five breeding farms, an assessment of the exterior was carried out by measuring body articles: height at the withers and sacrum, oblique length of the trunk, chest width behind the shoulder blades, and pastern girth. 163 Romanov sheep were measured. Physique indices are calculated based on measurements.
