[QUOTE="waihou, post: 1184897, member: 6511"] I'm pretty sure we use the same frame score chart! I have been looking for the laminated Frame score card which we were provided when we joined the MG Society(NZ) back in 1979. At that time all animals had to be inspected prior to being accepted for registration and Frame score 4 was the minimum height. Since the mandatory inspections for registration have been wiped-due to the cost to members for travelling inspectors we no longer measure. However we still have our measuring cane about 4 years ago I did a number of measurements on one of our sires to see how he complied with the 'ideal' eg girth to height to length measurements put out by Bovine Engineering, Gearld Fry. I just found them again, sorry they are in cms, but Cheyennes height as a 4r old was 145cm, which equates to 57 inches at the hips, between frame score 5 and 6 on the table. This is probably typical of Australian and New Zealand 'average' MG size nowadays. [/QUOTE]
