[QUOTE="djinwa, post: 1002763, member: 8265"] The only way to guess is by going with the average growth on a frame chart. I would just take a measurement of the yearling's current height and see what frame it is on the chart. Then look to see what the height of that same frame would be at 48 months old, when they're about done growing. For example, if a heifer is 45 inches at the hip at 12 months of age, she is frame size 4, and on average, she will be 50 inches at 48 months at frame size 4. These charts are at an angus site, but are the same for all breeds. [url=http://www.angus.org/Performance/AHIR/PerfFrameScore.aspx]http://www.angus.org/Performance/AHIR/P ...
