    Any one here have a clue what weight my limousin bull would be, he's over a tone i reckon, he's just over five foot hight (153 cm) at his hips, around eight foot (244 cm) in length and he's under five year old. thanks.

    sure if ya can get him up on the trailer, he's the most stubborn beast we ever had, but he can move when he wants and move very fast too for his size. :D

    Ya he's definitely over the ton IMO. Have you put him on a scales lately?

    I hope that cow wasn't a bullin' or the shed is probably minus a roof now :D

    Seeing that you are so handy with a measuring tape put him in the crush. Measure his girth in inches then measure his length from shoulder blade to tail head. Multiply girt x girth x length divided by 300 will give you pounds divide by 2.2 to get kg. With a big animal like him add 20% to your answer and that will give you his weight approx.

    He's not able to fit up the crush, i just wanted a rough guess anyway. :)

    I'd say around the 950Kg mark. Fine looking animal.

    What's his breeding?

    I've a cow by Malibu. She's the quietest limousin I've ever seen. She's a right pet. She's huge aswell.

    he walks very gingerly on the stone path all right but he's the finest when he gets on to the grass.

    he's quiet as well but I still wouldn't thrust him when a cow comes bullin.
