The General linear model (GLM) within the SAS (2012) computer package was used to analyze the data. The study included 466 records for birth weight and 231 for weaning weight and average gain and 236 for body dimensions at weaning weight. The resulted showed that were non-significant effect at breed and sex in birth weight, wihle athore factores were significant (P<0.05) and highly significant effect (p< 0.01) on weaning weight and averge gain ecsept type of birth. Breed, season and age of doe were significant effect (P<0.05) body length and wither height, wihle its highly significant effect (P< 0.01) on heart girth. Sex and type of birth were non-significant on body length and wither height, wihle its significant effect (P<0.05) on heart girth
