Predicting Body Weight and Wither Height in Holstein Heifers Using Body Measurements

Journal of Dairy Science, 1992
Relationships between body weight, wither height, and various other body traits, including heart girth, body length, and hip width, were studied using data from six experiments with 2625 observations. Body weight and wither height were regressed on the other body traits. Regressions of body weight including the linear, quadratic, and cubic effects of a
