Here is a back shot on day 32 estimate weight 259 lbs. Already beat my last years best of 250 lbs--on the one hand it was easy to surpass that small weight, but I did way less work last year--I really worked my tail off this year. I really hope I get a 800-900 lber, but I doubt it at this rate--so I am a bit disappointed so far--but you never know. Perhaps this Eaton has the genetics to grow into September. I think it will be in the 500-700 lb range. Not bad for my second year out, and if it is around 500 lbs I may at least be able to get it out of my back yard to a weigh off. If it is around 600 to 700lbs the plan was to weigh it by cutting it into pieces--sad I know, but you should see how inaccessible my back yard is.
I already have a pretty good clue of what I did wrong this year, and with a little luck next year, some good seed, and a lot of hard work, I am pretty sure I can get close to the mythical 1000 lb mark in the next couple of years.
