[QUOTE="CottageFarm, post: 874693, member: 16552"] I couldn't get the link to work, but this is the formula I've used from Univ. of Arizona. A google search may work for you. It's a .PDF document that has a drawing that shows where to take the measurements. I've found the formula to be within 3-5% accurate. Beef Cattle 1. Measure the length of body, from the point-of-shoulder (A) to the point-of-rump or pin bone (B). 2. Measure the circumference or heart girth (C). Measure from a point slightly behind the shoulder blade, down the fore-ribs and under the body behind the elbow all the way around. After these measurements are made in inches – use the following formula. 3. (Heart girth X heart girth X body length) ÷ 300 = weight in pounds. [/QUOTE]
