Great looking boys! As far as weight goes I have these two quotes on my weight chart;
“In general I like to see our goat hit 50 lbs at 3 months and 120 lbs at a year. That puts them on track to hit 220-240 lbs as an adult.” Rex Summerfield
“Around 100+ at a year is a good weight but not necessarily accurate as far as finished size. I do like to see them about 165 at a year and a half which seems to be a better predictor as least for my genetics.” Carolyn Eddy
My biggest boy is 4 yrs old and around 215, he only weighed 43lbs at 13wks old, but is also a Nubian/Boer. My other boys are all under 200 lbs, heck they're all under 150 lbs! They're great though and I'm very bonded with them so the amount they can carry doesn't really matter. I'll just get more goats if it becomes an issue
