The breed

What are the measurements of a great Ladoum?

A very good adult ram stands 100–115 cm at the withers for 120–180 kg. Records compiled by OS Ladoum reach 123 cm at the withers, 172 cm body length, 151 cm chest girth and over 180 kg.

Shows score four measurements under the ADAM systems: height at withers (40% for rams), occiput-to-ischium length (35%), chest girth (15%) and weight (10%). Height alone is not enough: overall harmony makes the champion.

Beware of claimed measurements without proof: since 2018 the industry uses a restraint device for standardised measuring. Demand dated — ideally filmed — measurements.
