Abstract
The Assaf breed introduced in Spain at the 1970’s was later extended throughout the country by absorptionof females of other Spanish breeds. This research conducted a zoometric study on 341 adultanimals (61 males and 280 females), between two and five years of age in 18 flocks, in which seventeendifferent body measurements and 8 udder measurements were collected during a period of maximumproduction and then analyzed. 100% of the correlations between variables (excluding udder,tail and ear) were significant in females and 95% in males. Udder variables showed little correlationwith body measurements, and only 25% of the correlations between the udder variables were significant.The results showed a degree of morphostructural homogeneity at an intermediate level in bothmales and females, although no assurances can be given to the breast morphology where a large variabilityexists. The degree of the morphostructural model’s harmony of the breed can be classified ashigh
