This study was carried out to investigate the relationship between body measurements. A total of 8440 records of Korean Native Beef Cattle (HAN-WOO) was used. Correlation coefficients between the body weight and the body measurements of 11 traits were showed the range of 0.72-0.94. At the final step of the stepwise regression analysis on body weight with body measurements, all traits of body measurements except chest depth were included in the model, and the determinant coefficient (R** (2) was 0.91). Considering the cost and the labor to measure the body measurements, the model included chest girth, hipbone width, shank circum and thurl width was considered most effectively descriptive to estimated body weight from body measurements (R** (2)= 0.90)
