Abstract
The variation in shape and morphology of the head among animals even within the same family is common. Work to determine skull shape have been carried out by some workers. In horned animals, the position of the horns may differ and therefore necessitate the exploration of land marks for local anaesthesia. The caudofrontal depression of Sahel goats was studied to ascertain its involvement as a possible landmark for the deposition of local anaesthetic substances during dehorning process in this breed. The location of the depression was seen to be along the temporal crest, dorsal to the temporal fossa between the eye orbit and the horns. Data obtained indicates that it has a breadth of 1.01±0.09cm at the left side and of 0.97±0.14cm at the right side in female animals. Males had 0.84 ±
