Otte, A. Woods, Y. Abuabara] Summary: The repeatability of weight estimation of cattle by scale and by tape and the agreement of weight estimates obtained by the 2 methods were evaluated. The within-subject standard deviation of replicates was used as a measure of repeatability while the agreement of the 2 methods was evaluated by analysis of the differences in weight estimates. In young cattle, the measurement error of the tape was about twice that of the scale while in adult cattle it was more than 4 times as great. Although weight estimates by the 2 methods were highly correlated, considerable differences occurred in individual cattle. The same was true for estimates of weight gain. It does not appear advisable to use the tape in trials where weight is an independent variable whereas the use of the tape can be justified in experiments where weight is the dependent variable.
