This study was carried out to investigate the reproductive efficiency, milk yield and some developmental characteristics of kids in Hair goats reared under extensive conditions. The animal material of the study consisted of 214 Hair goats and 233 Hair goat kids. In order to determine the reproductive traits of the Hair goats, data on the number of goats under sire, pregnancy rate, birth rate, single birth rate, twin birth rate, number of kids per birth, kid yield, weaning period kid yield; lactation milk yield, lactation duration and daily average milk yield as milk yield traits and birth weight and weaning weight were used to determine the development traits of kids. Pregnancy rate was 95.8%, birth rate was 94.4%, single birth rate was 84.6%, twin birth rate was 15.3%, number of kids per birth was 1.15 and kid yield was 108.9. Among the milk yield characteristics of Hair goats, lactation milk yield was 124.26 kg, lactation period was 166.04 days and average daily milk yield was 0.750 kg. Birth weight and weaning (90th day) weights of Hair goat kids were determined as 3.09 and 13.11 kg, respectively. As a result, it was observed that fertility, milk yield and some developmental characteristics of kids obtained from Hair goats under extensive conditions were in accordance with the values reported in the literature.
