At maturity on average, rams weigh {{Convert|81|kg|lb|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} and have a height of {{Convert|84|cm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} at the withers. Ewes, on average, weigh {{Convert|49|kg|lb|sigfig=2|abbr=on}}, grow to {{Convert|74|cm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} at the withers and average 1.5 lambs per litter. Ewes lactate for approximately 180 days and provide {{Convert|75|kg|lb|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} of milk to their offspring during that period.[2] The Algerian Arab have long legs that are well suited for walking for extended periods of time. This breed is well adapted to live in arid climates. From 1989 to 2003, the population increased from approximately 10 million to 11 million.[2] This breed is believed to have evolved from the Tadmit sheep in Algeria.[3] References1. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.ansi.okstate.edu/breeds/sheep/algerianarab/index.htm |title=Algerian Arab |work=Breeds of Livestock |publisher=Oklahoma State University, Dept. of Animal Science |accessdate=2009-05-13 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20081104101917/http://www.ansi.okstate.edu/breeds/sheep/algerianarab/index.htm |archivedate=2008-11-04 }} {{sheep-stub}}2. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=http://dad.fao.org/|title=Ouled Jellal/Algeria|work=Breed data sheet|publisher=Domestic Animal Diversity Information System|accessdate=2009-05-13}} 3. ^{{cite web |url = http://dagris.ilri.cgiar.org/display.asp?ID=908 |title = Algerian Arab |work = General Breed Information |publisher = Domestic Animal Genetic Resources Information System |author = International Livestock Research Institute |accessdate = 2009-05-13 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070613084337/http://dagris.ilri.cgiar.org/display.asp?ID=908 |archive-date = 2007-06-13 |dead-url = yes |df = }} 2 : Sheep breeds originating in Algeria|Sheep breeds |
