The present research is a part of Master Degree Thesis „Importance of antler characteristics and body size validation in red deer farming”. The data for the research was obtained while evaluating red deer calves and hinds on the farm „Dumpji” during the herd’s annual prophylactic check-up in December 2013 and April 2014. Within the framework of the research body mass and body parts measurements were made for hinds (n = 71). They were born in the 2011. Within the framework of the research measurements of red deer hinds’ body mass, height at withers, hip height, head width and hip width were made. Main values of these measurements were calculated and their correlations drawn. The findings showed that body mass has a close positive correlation with hip width (r = 0.481; p is less than 0.01), hip height (r=0.337; p is less than 0.01) and height at withers (r = 0.453; p is less than 0.01). Moreover, hip height has a close positive correlation with height at withers (r = 0.547; p = 0.01).
