At least there is next year!

I had to do an estimated weight for one of my biggest last week because of a hole where Mr Rib got together with Mr Dill ring....it was 805est.

I was able to weigh the other (with a gaping blossom end split)yesterday and it had a UOW or DMG or whatever will be applied to it of 870lbs.

While I am bummed aout not making it to a weigh-off, it sure feels good to have gotten as far as I did as a first and a half...lol...year grower.

Good luck to the rest of you!

it's alway's a shame when you lose such good ones. at the end of the road.

back in '93 when I was a second year grower I lost a big one too...weighed 832lbs on Sept 11! Anyway I figure it's better to have a grown a big one and lost it, than to never have grown it... just my thoughts.

Sorry to hear Dale, I had the same question with mine and I was told it should be classified UOW. Canby will still be fun, see you there. Ben
