Body Condition is one indicator of your operation's success. Regularly evaluating body condition can help identify bottlenecks and opportunities related to your herd's milk production and reproductive performance. The 5-point scoring system was developed at Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University. This system allows individual cows to be evaluated using consistent, objective standards.

Body Condition Scoring can help in evaluating, predicting or troubleshooting the following areas:

• Herd Health & Management
• Nutritional Opportunities
• Reproductive Problems
• Transition Cow Performance
• Heifer Development Programs
