Let's discuss/share data on bovines (Bovinae subfamily)

I'll start with eland, the data on them is rather scarce, so any information I have access to regarding them will be posted here.
Cape eland weight and measurements divided by age and sex of 9 individuals:

"Adult Cape  eland  cows  have  a mass of 400-560 kg and a mean shoulder height of 150 cm, compared to adult bulls at 650-940 kg and a shoulder height of 160-180 cm.  The forequarters of the body are notably larger and heavier than the hind and as a result, the front feet are larger.  A large dewlap descends from  the  throat  of  adult  bulls."
