[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1229962, member: 9096"] get a weigh tape and measure around their chest right behind the front legs. Different brands of tapes will have different formulas, I have my own that seems to be reasonably close for my animals when I compare it to those that went through the sale barn.. Measuring in inches... (Girth^2.58) x 0.204 It works out about to this... girth / weight 30 107 31 117 32 127 33 137 34 148 35 159 36 171 37 184 38 197 39 211 40 225 41 240 42 255 43 271 44 288 45 305 46 323 47 341 48 360 49 380 50 400 51 421 52 443 53 465 54 488 55 512 56 536 57 561 58 587 59 613 60 640 61 668 62 697 63 726 64 756 65 787 66 819 67 851 68 885 69 918 70 953 71 989 72 1025 73 1062 74 1100 75 1139 76 1179 77 1219 78 1260 79 1302 80 1345 81 1389 82 1434 83 1479 84 1526 85 1573 86 1621 87 1670 88 1720 89 1771 90 1823 91 1876 92 1929 93 1984 [/QUOTE]
