This all depends on the breed. Average weight for smaller cows (low-lines and miniatures, as well as Jerseys and Dexters) range from 600 to 900 lbs. For medium-framed cows, it can be from 1000 to 1600 lbs. For the large-framed cows, weight averages from 1600 lbs to over 2300 lbs.

Height and length depends on the breed. Height can vary from 3 feet for mini breeds to over 6 feet for large breeds. Width depends on how pregnant or how much gut capacity they have. Cows in late pregnancy can get as wide as 3 or 4 feet. Others that are not pregnant are as wide as 24-35 inches.

The length and width of a full grown cow will depend on the breed and their stage in pregnancy. Fully mature cows can be as long as 7 feet and wide as ~3 feet if not heavily pregnant. Smaller or miniature breeds will have cows of only 5 feet long and ~2 feet wide.

This is solely dependent on breed. Most cows from North America (like Angus and Herefords) average around 5 to 6 feet in height at the shoulder, but can be more. However, large breeds like Charolais and Chianina can stand around 7 to 8 feet tall at the shoulder, and small breeds like Dexters only stand 3 to 4 feet at the shoulder.

Yes and no. It really depends on the breed. Lowline and miniature cattle are quite short, whereas dairy cattle and beef cattle with a large frame size (such as Holstein and Chianina, respectively) are quite tall, having a shoulder height about the same average height (or more) as an average man is tall (which is 6 feet or more).

Can't answer. All breeds are different heights. Holsteins are HUGE, and Guernseys are small.

It would depend of what breed it is and how well it is fed. Some cows can be 5ft and others can be a lot taller.

There really is no average size, since it varies greatly between breeds and within breeds, especially those which are highly popular including Angus and Hereford cattle of North America.

Considering that a cow weight around 400 to 600 kg depending on the breed, you can consider the volume close to 0,4 to 0,6 m3
