Use Heart Girth Weight Estimate when you need to estimate livestock weight in kilograms from heart girth and body length with the documented heart girth formula. Enter Heart girth cm and Body length cm using the definitions and units below so the result can be reproduced.

Heart girth cm

A finite measured or assumed value.

Body length cm

A finite measured or assumed value.

The published tool contract uses this rule: Estimate livestock weight in kilograms from heart girth and body length with the documented heart girth formula.

Estimated weight kg

The calculated estimated weight kg in kg.

The output is an estimate tied to the stated model and coefficients; it is not a direct measurement and should retain that label when reported.

Retain the original Heart girth cm and Body length cm values and their units alongside the result. Chest Girth Weight is useful when you instead need to estimate cattle weight in kilograms from the chest girth with the documented cubic approximation. Body Length Weight provides another view by helping you estimate cattle weight in kilograms from body length and chest girth with the same-family length formula.

• Chest Girth Weight

  Estimate cattle weight in kilograms from the chest girth with the documented cubic approximation.

• Body Length Weight

  Estimate cattle weight in kilograms from body length and chest girth with the same-family length formula.

• Hip Height Index

  Compute the hip height index as a percentage of hip height over heart girth.
