How do i figure out how much a cow weighs?

[Generally01]

How do i figure out how much a cow weighs without using a scales?
I was wondering if any of you knew how to figure out approximately how much a cow weighs by height, width, etc.
I don't have access to a scales(of that capacity) right now.

Reasonably accurate, with practice.
You may be able to find a table that is non-metric if that suits, or just run the conversions, it will still be close.

Thanks! that is what i was hoping for it don't need to be exact so conversions should work fine. if i understand right tho this is just for cows (which was what i wanted) but do they have such tables for other animals? they could come in handy.

Not that I'm aware @Greg101, although it would probably work alright

All you need is one strong plank, an oil barrel, and a selection of other fairly heavy things.

Rather than being silly and getting it to stand on your foot, why not get it to stand on somebody else’s foot?

If the “somebody else” was also stood on a weighbridge it could be even more handy....

Very good idea. then somebody needs to invent a receiver thingy that measures how loud the scream is and figures out how much the animal weighs.
