Guess the weight

Further to my post on how many folks weigh cows I thought I'd post a couple of pictures and see what the guesses on these two are.

Two cows - which is heavier and what do you think they weigh? Cow on the left is closer to the camera a little.

I'd say the one you called "Yellow" is the heavier of the two. She looks to be deeper built. But as far as acutally guess on an actual weight on them, can't even begin to , cuz there's nothin in the picture to guage their overall size by.

That cow is "red" by the way :wink:

I'll add 25 lbs each on to bullhauler's guesstimate. :wink: To me both the red and blonde cow look like they are carrying a fill.

We are probably both off if you let them stand in the corral overnight and then run them across a scale.

Keep them coming folks I'm finding this interesting :) :) - hopefully all the regulars on here will venture a guess before I reveal the weights.
Lilly, I'd love the cow to be red but she isn't she is yellow - the tail shot of her shows her true color. I think the red you see was the lighting and her hair coat. Below is her brother - he's what I call red. He weighs 2020lbs which surprised me as he is a maximum of a frame score 5 - I would guess more like a 4.5.

Well then her true color is green. :wink:

I will guess 1410# on the darker one, and 1440# on the lighter colored cow.
