The magnetic, transport and thermal properties of alkaline-earth-filled skutterudites AFe(4)Sb(12) (A = Ca, Sr, Ba) are reported. All three compounds show maximum magnetic susceptibility and thermopower at 50K and a large electronic specific heat coefficient of 100mJ/molK(2). The electrical resistivity exhibits a shoulder at 70 K and follows quadratic temperature dependence below 9 K. These properties are the characteristics of a nearly ferromagnetic metal. The suppression of ferromagnefic spin fluctuations of the Fe 3d band by applying magnetic fields was manifested as a negative magneto-resistance between 50 and 80K.
