[QUOTE="dyates, post: 490828, member: 7137"] Hopefully, this isn't a double. I thought I posted it once but it never showed up. I'm somewhat new at the 'science' of cattle. After doing a little reading, I see that frame score is basically a measurement of hip height. Is hip height really reliable? The reason I ask is this. My little mutt herd probably would average a frame score of 6 based on hip height. However, they probably weigh more like 1400#. I have someone much more experienced than me guessing weights. The cows are by no means fat. They are deep, wide and long. They just don't have 4 feet of daylight under them. [/QUOTE]
