This study was conducted to determine the correlation between morphometric traits and body weight in fat-tailed sheep. The materials used this study were 80 Fat-Tailed sheep aged 90 days to 2 years. The variables measured were morphometric traits (body weight, body length, and chest circumference) and body weight. The data obtained were analyzed using pearson correlation and regression methods. The result showed that the correlation between morphometric traits and Body Weight (BW) of Fat-Tailed Sheep were as follows: Body Height (BH) = 0.53, Body Length (BL) = 0.55, and Chest Circumference (CC) = 0.71. The results of this study indicate that the regression between morphometric traits and Body Weight (BW) of Fat-Tailed Sheep aged 90 days to 2 years were as follow: BW = - 12.38 + 0.72 BH, BW = -21.35 + 0.88 BL, BW -10.78 + 0.57 CC. The conclusion obtained is that the correlation between morphometric traits and body weight in Fat Tailed Sheep aged 90 days to 2 years, with correlation values ranging from 0.53 to 0.71 indicates a medium to strong correlation coefficient. CC has the highest correlation with BW compared to BH and BL.
