Frame scores represent differences in height at the same age of about 2 inches. Values in the chart represent averages of thousands of cattle, but individual animals may vary in how they …

Frame scores Scores, a method of estimating skeletal size based on hip height, are shown in Table 1. Frame scores represent diferences in height at the same age of about 2 inches. …

Several beef cattle breed associations have developed their own frame score formulas and charts which are based on average growth and development within their specific breed and vary …

Frame scores are used to describe the skeletal size of cattle. Most animals should maintain the same frame score throughout their life, while their actual height will increase with age.

Frame score is calculated using the hip height and age of the animal (See Table). Projected finishing weights are then determined by frame score. See the diagram below to determine the …

Body type (size of frame) scores are made on 1 to 9 basis, as shown in figure below, from the smallest up to largest types of cattle. These body type scores were developed at the University …

Cattle today tend to be heavier, at similar heights, to cattle used to develop the frame score equation. The following tables give estimates of cattle height at different ages, along with …

The frame score charts (Table 3 and Table 4) contained in this publication were adapted from a fact sheet from Kansas State University; however, they are understood to be universal.

To figure out an animal's frame score, measure your cattle (when 5 months of age or older) over their back, above the hip (hook bone). Compare their height & age to these charts for a quick …

A frame score calculator like the one below can help producers measure their cattle’s skeletal size. This information can help you determine an animal’s growth pattern, as well as its …
