At one time Gearld Fry sold a devise similar to this for linear measuring...don't see it on his site now.
I don't think it is something that has to be measured that accurate...put a scale on a panel leading to the chute...will give you a good idea of frame score. Besides, it's more important that she bring a good calf to the weaning pen every year than her exact frame score. I've never bothered to measure...I just know my bigger cows are gone because they didn't raise a good calf or came up open.
