Made a video for a friend.
Loaded all three and got a combined weight off the elevators scale.
Any guesses on the combined weight?
Winner gets a back rub from Jim Conrad!

3350lbs. no backrub needed.

LOL!
I watched the vid and it's hard to judge.
Those are full size corrals and they aren't yearlings!
Great guesses so far, I will announce the 'winner' here in a couple hours.
Should add that you get your choice between lavender or peppermint massage oil....
I'll give ya twenty bucks each!
You pay the freight.
average 800#, total of 2400#
I don't know, how about 2814#.
Ahem! I'll pass on the back rub. grin. But I'll guess 2400.
JimfromTN guessed it right, He wins!!
OK, it's hard to judge weight on moving critters. That's a good video, but there is a reason why they use scales, and livestock judges make you line up the animals in a straight line on level concrete.

You'd complain if ya found a hare in a pot of rabbit stew.
What type of massage oil does Jim typically use? Many are allergic to peanut products. Safety First.
I say 2447. Wife says 2809. If she wins, she prefers the cash equivalent. š¤£š¤£š¤£
How long do we have to wait for the answer?

I'm ignoring the massage part of the equation - that's just wrong.

I skipped ahead from page 1. Price is Right rules? Closest without going over, or just closest?
Gruff, let's just say closest. FWIW, there has been one correct guess so far!
While I wouldn't want to jeopardize the sanctity of the Conrad marriage, I sure am in need of that massage. I'll guess 2933.
I could tell ya exactly but I donāt want any part of the prize.

Damn. I have what feels like the start of a big pimple right twixt me shoulder blades where I can't reach it

Friends, I should have stated this earlier.
The elevator scale is only good for increments of 50.
(And I think they frown upon pulling a stock trailer over the pit.
Being an educated gentleman, I pulled up and backed off.
No poop or pee in your Wheaties.)
They look big They look healthy. But I dont know squat about cattle other than being a end product consumer. 1900 pds 14.7 oz. Lotta Quarter pounders....
With the new rules just now being quoted, I'll change my guess to 3350, I'd like to think Jim would make the best guess but I can't get my head wrapped around 4200 pounds so I'm probably wrong, real wrong.
Here is a clue for those who are too afraid to guess... The F350, 20' steel gooseneck, 3 amigos and I weighed in at a svelte 19,900lbs.
2900... was going to guess 2925 but you changed the rules on us.
7800lb truck 6350lb trailer 4850lb bulls = 19,000lbs
And I am sorry. Didn't think of specifics until it was too late. If anyone wants to make a new guess now is the time. Please don't go back and edit, I'll miss it. And as a courtesy to the west coast(workers) I am considering extending guess time to 6PM MST.
With one minute to go, you're gonna change the time?

I'm sorry.
You're right, that's messed up.
Give me a minute to double check my figures.
Your game your rules, I'm glad I didn't have to pay for this.
Don't get mad. I am now going to announce the winner!
3600# total average ,1200# a head.
I've been on edge with undaunting antisapation
Iām going with what Jimmy āsausage fingersā Conrad said
#4200
19,900 loaded 15,700 empty 4,200lbs for the winner! TrueGrit, you were first closest. Jim, you were the first(only?) to be exact?!

Ah wtf bull chit!
did you water them from both ends before weighing?
This is a safariman type bullchit! I won fair and square!
Dominion Cattle Scale... We've were cheated.
I knew there would be instant questioning of the results but I assure you those are the proper numbers. Looking in the mirror I could see the digital readout and it matched the ticket we got from the elevator. FWIW I had them at 1100, 1200 and 1300 for a guess of 3600lbs.
You, and Larry must be good feeders Sam. What ration are they on?
they used one of those hollywood cameras, you know the one that makes a big butt look smaller!
We now have a problem. Jim ain't gonna rub his own back. Roger?
Hahahaha! Can I give myself a massage now?
Well I'm late. Was 2800, untill you mentioned the Corrales and thgat they weren't yearnings. Then I was right with you Sam, 3600. Not as specific, but just 3x 1200.
Those are some damn big slow elk.
Jim can give himself a hand job..... woohoo winner...
Well i missed the guess, but was at 3600, those are heavier than they look

C'mon Roger....dont make this weird....
lol Cry cuzzin', people thinkin' we in on something.

Since you volunteered Jim to give the rub and he can't do it himself, it's only fair you do it for him Sam
. I suggest you walk on his back barefoot like one of them Japanese massage gals.
Sam can make a thread about a bent nail run a dozen pages. Keep it up SamO! I like bovines!

Gringo, yep, gonna go full Wagyu style rub for sure.
This is on me.
Never in a million years did I think it would backfire.
They 2 year olds? I was going to guess them heavier than 1400#. Soggy boys anyway.

Will it ever end?

Goosey will be right over........
Hahahaha! Can I give myself a massage now?
I was going to ask you to dip your fingers in Kroil first.
Dammit, now I have to risk splinters on the post out by the pickup.
Jim don't need to give no back rub, you can get a happy ending from the Tenn. Boys on sweet tea
I haven't scrolled through them all, but the folks guessing around 3300 are probably close. If the auction is not closed, I'm going with 3298.7 edit: Well whorescheidt and hay salad. Them's some hefty critters. I was guessing 1100 average, but they looked like some muscular fellas, and everyone muscle weighs more than fat. They come from off that land out by the reservoir Sam? All them hills made them pretty sturdy, Wonder how they'd taste?
They look kin to Missy Elliot. Unless that fella is pretty tall, Iād a guessed 1150 average a head. Iāll settle for a foot rub.
I'd have never guessed them that heavy.

You mean Miss Lynn ?
Geno, we kept them here close to home on some smaller deeded pasture. And now they've been on the feed yard ratio for 3-4 months.(silage, pellets, ground hay blend) They need to go into the freezer like a month ago!
