Linear assessment of the type and body development provides very important information on the total value of animals for the purpose of breeding animals selected and classified into classes. Determination of the average values of exterior parameters, especially non-measurable traits, is useful in defining breeding objectives and formulating effective plans and programs. Given that previous studies found statistically significant differences among daughters of Simmental bulls for some properties of the exterior, the objective of this paper was to compare linear type traits and body development of daughters of Simmental bulls in the Rasina region. Based on linear type traits and body development, the most significant results were achieved by daughters of bull No. 1464 (Ralfus) for the frame, muscularity and form, and by daughters of bull No. 1488 (Hormaz) for udder appearance. If each attribute is analyzed separately, bull No. 1411 (Horau) is equally significant for the traits for which its daughters showed the best performance.
