This study utilized 10,502 linear type scores collected by KAIA from 1984 to 1993 with records consisting of 15 primary traits and final score. The results obtained were as follows ; 1. Rump width scores were positively correlated with parity and age but udder support scores were negatively correlated with them. 2. Among the age and lactation groups, the over-3rd parity group had tower fore-udder attachment scores than the 1 st or 2nd parity groups. 3. A multiplicative adjustment factor was more suitable for adjusting type scores than additive adjustment factor. 4. It was suggested that establishment of a base score is necessary to develop adjustment factors for each type trait.
