[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 208573, member: 852"] I believe I saw a weight tape once for dairy stock - you measured around the girth and calculated age and came up with an approximate weight. Anyone know where I can find one of those for beef stock? I've got a 11 month old angus/holstein cross heifer here that should be about 700-750lbs based on what her contemporaries weighed when they went through the auction last fall and a 2lb/day gain for her since then. I don't have access to a scale that's good enough to give me an accurate weight. Anyone know where I could find a tape that would work for her...or, if I took a tape out and measured her girth, would anyone on here have a weight tape that they'd be willing to read and tell me what it says she is?
