Mature Weights etc Fabron 454
Many have asked about frame, weights, measurements on Fabron 454. "Attempted" spring of 2007 - 5 year old mature bull. My platform scales are in the alley on my working pens- works great for calves - but tight on mature bulls. Fabron was rubbing all sides as he was being weighed. Weighed over 1,900 lbs - Exact weight ??? I do not know / nor care - he is NOT for sale by the pound!54Inches hip = 4 frame
42 cm scrotal
"Gerald Fry measurements"
Top line = 91 inches Rump= 28 inches Neck to Shoulder 30 inches Heart Girth = 92 inches
Therefore his top line equals his heart girth, and balanced with 1/3 rump, 1/3 neck etc.
Width measurements were not done as this meat wagon was rubbing all sides of the chute! Way better than Geralds recommendations of shoulder = 2 inches wider than rump length and shoulders 44% of hip height. This bulls ratios were done at a yearling when he was purchased and fit all of Geralds ratios then and now as a mature bull.
Slick Hair, Calm disposition, good feet, great pedigree, proven daughters, sons and grass finished steers!
