Estimating Weight of Beef Cattle by
Heart Girth Measurements

If it is not possible to scale weigh cattle, tape measuring is a handy alternative way to estimate weight. Remember that it only gives you an approximation of the animal's weight.

How To Measure Your Beef Cattle:

Stand the animal with head in normal position and with the four legs set squarely under the body.
Pass the tape tightly around the body just back of the shoulders at the smallest circumference
it is recommended that the animal be kept off feed and water for 12 hours before measuring. An overnight shrink is enough.

The Following Table Indicates Beef Cattle Weight:
