Presentation transcript:

Body Condition Scoring of Cows Body Condition Score (BCS) reflects previous nutrition and energy reserves. BCS at calving has a dramatic impact on rebreeding. SCORE 3. The cow is very thin with no fat on ribs or in brisket and the backbone is easily visible. Some muscle depletion appears evident through the hindquarters. SCORE 5. The cow is moderate to thin. The last two ribs can be seen and little evidence of fat is present in the brisket, over the ribs or around the tail head. The loin edge is smooth. SCORE 7. This cow appears in very good flesh. The brisket is full, tail head shows pockets of fat and the back appears square due to fat. The ribs are very smooth and soft handling due to fat cover.
