Measurement is Critical, But Not Difficult to DoTo measure your cow you will place the tape measure on the ground at the Hip Bone. Hold a Level resting on the top of the Hip and touching the tape measure. Once the Level is level you have your height. You will take the number level to the top of the bone by half inch measures. If in doubt, round up half an inch.
For a 3 year old height certification you can have your Vet, AI Tech, or a PMJS Member observe a measurement. Another Member can verify for you but they are putting all their registrations on the line to do so. If a measurement is ever found to be falsified all the animals for both herds will be suspended, pending new measurements. |
