Lesson 3: Frame Score
Reference Sheet
Determining and Using Frame Score
Frame score is determined by the age and the hip height of the animal. With the frame score, the
producer can better determine how best to feed the animal in the time that they have. The higher the
frame score, the longer it will take to finish the animal or the larger it will be as a mature cow or bull.
Measuring Hip Height
Ensuring that the animal is standing on a level surface, in inches, measure to the point directly
over the hip bones.
