[QUOTE="DrDave, post: 291258, member: 5096"] We've used several different methods....The foot-tape is nice and as someone else stated, I think it gives you a good indication. Supposedly, when you take into account that most hanging scales don't maintain their accuracy after getting thrown around through a calving season, and a lot of people don't bother with calibrating them, the foot-tape would be the most consistent. Have an extra on-hand though, as it's pretty easy to lose when a protective momma is eating your ass. We've also used a pigging string with a hanging scale.....it's fast to put on, and once you've got it on, it makes it easier for tagging, treating the navel, and any shots you need to give.
