We show that for every odd integer g 5 there exists a constant c such that every graph of minimum degree r and girth at least g contains a minor of minimum degree at least cr . This is best possible up to the value of the constant c for g = 5; 7 and 11. More generally, a wellknown conjecture about the minimal order of graphs of given minimum degree and large girth would imply that our result gives the correct order of magnitude for all odd values of g. The case g = 5 of our result implies Hadwiger's conjecture for C 4 -free graphs of suciently large chromatic number
