Re: Aussie buffalo

I concur - looks like a high nineties bull to me ...by any scoring system.. noice one...

Bit tough in the frypan??

In answer to your question here is the different scoring info. In my laziness I just cut it from a post I made recently concerning the same thing on another website...

"SCI system - length of each horn (from point near forehead to the horn tip around the curve) added together
plus circumference of horn bases added together
A 100SCI buff might go (32"+32") + (17.5"+18.5")

Douglas System length of the shortest horn doubled...plus
shortest circumference doublee
So the same example above example 32x2 + 17.5x2 = 99DP

SCI credits the animal with the horn that it grew/has while Douglas penalises for 'unevenness'. So if a bull is missing half a horn it is severely penalised in Douglas but not in SCI.

Neither system gives credit to the mass that a buffalo has, away from the horn bases (ie. if it is heavy all the way out to the end).

What does it all mean? Not much ..... but it is interesting for making comparisons between different animals. "
