Take tho measurement of the girth where it is smallest, (close behind the shoulder) and the length of the animal from_ the front of tho shoulder to the junction of tho tail. Multiply thhe square of the girth in feet and 'inches by tho length in feet, and multiply the product by .23, .24, .26, .28, or .30, according to tho fatness of the animal, and the result will give the weight in imperial stones. For instance, if the girth of an animal in moderate conditioin be 6ft, the lengt.h sftr 4in. then G x 6—3fi x 51-3-192 x .24-47.08 stones. The foregoing is the carcase weight of the animal. The weight of the carcase would be about $of the live weight for cattle; for sheep, from 1-3 to |: and for a pig, from J to 3 the live weight.
