Hairy Heifer Cattle Size Guide
This chart is based on the final classification of measurement of Highland cattle. When measuring start across the back above the hook of the hip the top most point on the back legs. Always measure from this point.
With a Hairy Heifer you can be sure of a Mini Highland Cows size as soon as it’s available and we have an eye for reading the frame score on a mini highland.
Frame score is a measurement of the skeletal size or frame of a mini. The scoring system ranges from -6 to 9 based on height at the hips or hook in cattle. HHCC takes a measurement before we put a cow up for auctions so there won’t be any surprises once it gets home. The experienced staff at Hairy Heifer Cattle Company will alleviate the buyer of a big surprise and ensure that your new mini moo isn’t destined to grow into a full size cow.
