A total of 173 animals comprising 85 Bornu White and 86 Red Sokoto breeds from Borno State of Nigeria were used. The Bornu White breed was significantly different (p < 0.01) from the Red Sokoto in body weight, height at withers, heart-girth, and body length. The Limb parts did not differ significantly, although greater values still persisted. In the Bornu White; parts of the hind limb were however significantly different (p < 0.05). Considering breed and sex, the Bornu White males weighted heaviest and had highest body measurements for all the body parts measured, this should be an advantage for its use as a meat animal. The females were also larger than the Red Sokoto females, thus suggesting a higher potential for milk production. Correlation and regression coefficients of linear body measurements on body weight were high in Bornu White males (r  0.73) and (b  0.72) for height withers, heart girth and body length, values for the Red Sokoto breed (r  0.34) for body length and height for height at withers and heart girth r = 0.77 and 0.89 respectively. Results obtained from the biochemical analysis of blood showed higher frequency for Tf A (P = 0.84) in Bornu white and the Red Sokoto had comparatively higher frequently for Tf B (q = 0.33).
