The aim of this study was to determine the pre-mating period live weights and body measurements of 216 head of Hair, 232 head of Alpine x Hair F₁ (AHF₁)  and 167 head of Saanen x Hair F₁ crossbred does (SHF₁)  were raised at three different herds in the Selçuklu, Konya provinces under semi intensive conditions.

Average live weights of Hair, AHF₁ and SHF₁ crossbred does were found 50.8 kg, 50.1 kg and 48.9 kg respectively.  The effects of genotype, parity, herd and year on the live weight (P<0.01) were significant. 

In this study,  the average withers height, rump height, body length, hearth girth, leg girth, left wrist girth, chest width, rump width and chest depth of Hair, AHF₁ and SHF₁ crossbred does were measured as 71.7 cm, 71.3 cm and 70.8 cm;  as 72.4 cm, 71.9 cm and 71.5 cm; as 69.1 cm, 68.8 cm and 68.3 cm; as 83.0 cm, 82.2 cm and 81.9 cm; as 56.4 cm, 56.0 cm and 55.5 cm; as 11.4 cm, 11.3 cm and 11.2 cm; as 16.6 cm, 16.6 cm and 16.4 cm; as 17.0 cm, 17.0 cm and 16.8 cm; as 32.5 cm, 32.4 cm and  32.2 cm respectively. The effect of genotype (except for hearth girth and chest depth), parity, herd and year on the all examined traits (P<0.01; P<0.05) were significant. 

As a result, İt can be said that the live weight traits of Hair goats were higher than SHF₁ crossbred does under the rural conditions, while live weight of SHF₁ crossbred does may be succeed through adaptation and selective breeding programmers.
