Above adapted from form designed by Kent Allen, K&K Ranch, Andover, MN.      NOTE:  *BCS (body condition score) used by Kent is a 9-point list rather than the commonly used 5-point grading system. Below, the 9-point scoring system:  1    Emaciated, no palpable fat detected over spinous processes (backbone). Rare.  2    Poor, somewhat emaciated, some tissue along spine, sharp to touch.  3    Thin, ribs still identifiable, obvious fat along spine and over tailhead.  4    Borderline good, individual ribs not obvious and spinous processes feel rounded.  5    Moderately good, good overall appearance, spongy fat over ribs and by tailhead.  6    High moderate, firm pressure to feel spinous processes and high fat over ribs and by tailhead.  7    Good, cow fleshy and carries much fat, very spongy over ribs and by tailhead.  8    Fat, very fleshy and rounded, spinous processes hard to feel and very fat by tailhead.  9    Extremely fat, no definition, block appearance, tailhead and hips buried in fat.
