[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1115855, member: 18945"] That's why I said "tape estimate". The girth tapes a fairly close but don't take into account an animal's length or different breeds other than one side being dairy and the other beef. I can guess as close as the tape shows most of the time within the tape's margin of error anyway. Really not worth mailing one to someone here on the board-you can buy them for around $4 here--dang postage would probably cost that much. Katpau, that was experience too on weaning age calves . I do have a 200# hanging scale with a sling I made for newborns. Picked the scale itself up at a flea market for $30. It ain't much to look at but it is accurate. [/QUOTE]
