Posted By: SamOlson What Do They Weigh? - 03/05/21
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!

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.

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.

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.)

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.

Looking in the mirror I could see the digital readout and it matched the ticket we got from the elevator.

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?
Posted By: MadMooner Re: What Do They Weigh? - 03/06/21
They look kin to Missy Elliot. Unless that fella is pretty tall, Iā€™d a guessed 1150 average a head.
