Roussin Sheep, characterized by their medium size, boast a distinctive brown face and legs, distinguishing them from other breeds. The absence of wool on their head and legs adds to their unique appearance, giving them a sleek and streamlined look.

A notable feature of Roussin Sheep is their polled nature, with both males and females lacking horns. This trait contributes to their ease of handling and reduces the risk of injuries during husbandry practices.

In terms of size, mature ewes typically weigh between 70 to 90 kilograms, while rams can reach weights ranging from 90 to 110 kilograms. This robust physique underscores their suitability for various farming systems and production purposes.
