The thurl is located approximately half-way between the hips (aka hooks, aka tuber coxae) and the pins (aka tuber ischii). The thurl is the external manifestation of the greater trochanter of the femur.
In much more layman's terms (if you didn't understand the thick scientific jargon in the first answer above), the thurl is the flat portion of the pelvis between the hooks or hip bone and pins (or pin bone) of the cow. It is one of the areas where you judge the body condition score or fatness level of a cow. The thurl on a dairy cow is the same thurl on a beef cow.
