To estimate the weight of a cow, one common method is to use a weight tape, which is a flexible measuring tape designed to measure the girth of the cow. You measure the circumference of the cow's girth, typically just behind the front legs, and then refer to a weight tape chart to find the approximate weight. Alternatively, you can use the formula: Weight (lbs) = (Girth in inches² x Length in inches) / 300, where length is measured from the point of the shoulder to the pin bone. These methods provide a good estimate, though actual weights may vary.

Figuring the live weight of a butchered cow?
Take the weight of the carcass (or carcass weight) and the overall weight of the hide, viscera, head, tail, ears, legs and excess fat, add them together and you should get the liveweight of the butchered animal. Another way is take the weight of the meat you got off of that cow, and multiply by 50%, because the rule of thumb is that total meat is 50% of the liveweight of that animal.
