I was going to say mid-high 40's.....long for sure, could be heavier
 
I would guess 45" on the one in front. Appears to be a bull? The one behind it is longer I think but thin so probably a cow.

On second look I think they're both cows. Judging by the compressed rings, I'd say the one in front is very old. One behind not so much. Both are incredible specimens. They are a beautiful animal for sure.
 
That's gonna be 50" give or take
 
On the shoulder, when ready shoot! Bang! Who cares how many inches, it's a stud.
 
Oh........... be still my heart.

Guessing 44-46". He really is a magnificent animal (and the one behind him).

Will you let us know HENRY GRIFFITHS SAFARIS?
 
Not very concise, but 44-48” is my guess. Likely right at 4’ at the shoulder and pretty dang close to that on the horns.

Dang. Didn’t see the second picture. Better comparison to body size. Upping estimate to close to 50!
 
43 7/8"
 
I think two Females 41in at the back 45-46 the front ?

Thanks again for your support on the Rhodesian Shotgun thread. From the amount of "LIKES" it received, it appears there was only ONE person who objected. Hes also the same one who continually insisted on interjecting his posts that werent relevant to the thread.
