Abstract :The aim of this study was to determine the pre-mating period live weights and body measurements of 216 head of Hair, 232 head of Alpine x Hair F 1 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(AHF 1 );  and 167 head of Saanen x Hair F 1 crossbred does insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SHF 1 );  were raised at three different herds in the Selçuklu, Konya provinces under semi intensive conditions. Average live weights of Hair, AHF 1 and SHF 1 crossbred does were found 50.8 kg, 50.1 kg and 48.9 kg respectively.  The effects of genotype, parity, herd and year on the live weight insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P<0.01); were significant.  In this study,  the average withers height, rump height, body length, hearth girth, leg girth, left wrist girth, chest width, rump width and chest depth of Hair, AHF 1 and SHF 1 crossbred does were measured as 71.7 cm, 71.3 cm and 70.8 cm;  as 72.4 cm, 71.9 cm and 71.5 cm; as 69.1 cm, 68.8 cm and 68.3 cm; as 83.0 cm, 82.2 cm and 81.9 cm; as 56.4 cm, 56.0 cm and 55.5 cm; as 11.4 cm, 11.3 cm and 11.2 cm; as 16.6 cm, 16.6 cm and 16.4 cm; as 17.0 cm, 17.0 cm and 16.8 cm; as 32.5 cm, 32.4 cm and  32.2 cm respectively. The effect of genotype insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(except for hearth girth and chest depth);, parity, herd and year on the all examined traits insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P<0.01; P<0.05); were significant.  As a result, İt can be said that the live weight traits of Hair goats were higher than SHF 1 crossbred does under the rural conditions, while live weight of SHF 1 crossbred does may be succeed through adaptation and selective breeding programmers.
