Conteúdo: 	Abstract: Data on a random sampla of 139 female non-pregnant goats from Baringo district was collected. The goats were categorised by dentition (milk, young, mature). Measurements included liveweight, heart girth, withers height, back, tail, ear, toggle and horn lengths. Toggles and polledness were observed in 2 % (average 3.8 cm) and 6 % of the flock respectively. Brown and white coat colour was prevalent in 32 % and 14 % of the goats respectively. Black skin colour was observed in 78 % of the goats while the rest showed brown colour with black dot pigmentation. Milk teeth goats had correlations of 0.94, 0.77 and 0.82 for weight with heart girth, withers height and back length while mature goats showed correlations of 0.41, 0.12 and 0.12, respectively. A setwise regression of body weight on linear measurements for young goats included heart girth and withers height with an R2 of 0.61. Only heart girth was included for mature goats with an R2 of 0.18. Proportions of weight to girth were 3.5, 2.9, 2.4 for milk, young and mature goats, respectively. Similar trends were exhibited for weight with other measurements. Withers to Girth proportion was 0.93, 0.94 and 0.91 for milk, young and mature goats, respectively. Goats showed significant variation in liveweights, linear measurements, coat and skin colours. Since these parameters relate directly to productivity, then appropriate classification can lead to the selection, development and conservation of various indigenous goat breeds with specific production potentials.
