Selectrion is one action in improving the genetic potential in animal population. Selection will be effective if the traits are varieted and depend on variety of the traits and selection intensity applied. This study was carried out using 270 breeding cows from bali cattle breeding centre in sobangan, badung distric, bali. The variable measured in this study was body length, withers height and chest girth. The result showed that the estimated selection response of body length, withers height and chest girth. basede on the heritability of traits and selection intensity was 0.37cm,; 0,64cm and 1,27cm respectively. It can be concluded that the estiimated selection response of the chest girth was the highers compared to body length and height of withers
