Prediction of body weight at birth, weaninig (2 months of age) and 6 months of age from heart girth, chest depth, height at withers and body lenght were studied in male and female Holstein-Friesian calves raised in Research Farm of Agricultural College at Ataturk University. Correlation coeficients revealed that the heart girth had the strongest relationship with the body weight at various ages. Also, the results suggested that the heart girth measurement would give acceptable accurate prediction of the body weight when a single body measurement was used for the prediction of the body weight from practical standpoint.
