description Body Condition Score (BCS) in Bali cattle has an effect on the calves performance. The BCS value correlated with the morphometries of the calves. The BCS value is used as a parameter for improving the quality of cows in the breeding program. This study was aimed at calculating the development of the BCS value of cows and measuring its correlation with birth weight and withers height of the calves. The material used in this study was 200 heads Bali cattle divided into 100 cows and 100 calves. Cattle owned by the farmer partners of PT. Hasanuddin Agrivisi Internusa, located in Tanete Riaja and Barru District, Barru Regency, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. The parameters observed in this study were Body Condition Score (BCS) of the cows, withers height (WH), and birth weight (BW) of calves. The BCS on a scale of 3 to 5. The data obtained were analysed using ANOVA comparative test, correlation test and linear regression analysis using the SPSS program. Research showed that there was an increase in BCS scores from 2019 to 2020 and 2021 (p<0.05). The correlation value between BCS of cows and BW of calves was a positive correlation of 0.347. The relationship between WH of cows and BW of calves was positively correlated at 0.188. The correlation between BCS and WH of cows to BW of calves was positively correlated at 0.350. Even though there is a positive correlation, the correlation value is still low, so there are other factors that influence the BW of the calves.
