| This chart is an extension of the earlier charts of the American Herford Association. Cattle over 42" at 36 mo. cannot be registered. |
| Although it has been extended down, it should not be construed as accurate until more Mini data is available. |
| It can be a helpful tool to approximately gauge growth rates and estimate ultimate mature heights. |
