Body Condition Scoring Body Condition Scoring (BCS)(BCS)
Body condition Body condition is the amount of is the amount of musclemuscle and and fatfat covering the cow, covering the cow, hence the body reserves available to hence the body reserves available to provide additional nutrients for milk provide additional nutrients for milk production and efficient reproductionproduction and efficient reproduction

(Short Ribs)
(Spinous Process)
If an animal is grossly fat, the bone structure cannot be seen or felt through the fat. In thin animals, the bone structures are very prominent.

Formula:Formula: HEART GIRTH x HEART GIRTH x BODY LENGTH / 300 HEART GIRTH x HEART GIRTH x BODY LENGTH / 300
= ANIMAL WEIGHT IN POUNDS= ANIMAL WEIGHT IN POUNDS
For example, if a beef cow has a heart For example, if a beef cow has a heart girth equal to 70 inches and a body girth equal to 70 inches and a body length equal to 78 inches, the length equal to 78 inches, the calculation would be (70 x 70 x 78) / calculation would be (70 x 70 x 78) / 300 = 1,274 lbs.300 = 1,274 lbs.
