Fourty eight wasted fetuses and two day-old kids of the Red Sokoto goats obtained from Batta abattoir of Dange Shuni Local Government Area and the central abattoir of Sokoto State were used for this study. Each fetus and the day old kids were weighed and the crown vertebral rump length measured. 51 farmers were interviewed using questionnaire to determine their ability to detect pregnancy. The result of the work showed that body weight and CVRL increases with age and farmers can detect pregnancy at various stages using physical examination. Adequate breeding record keeping should be encouraged among farmers to help in detecting and ageing pregnancy in Red Sokoto goat.
