Body Length (BL), Heart Girth (HG), Rump Height (RH), Rump Width (RW), Ear Length (EL), Cannon Circumference (CC) and Heard Width (HW) and to establish a model for the prediction of BW using linear body measurement traits. Pearson correlation results indicated that BW in Boer goats had a positively high statistically association (P}, journal = {American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences}, publisher = {Science Publications} }
