I don't want to go overkill on the pumpkin weight guessing. But since:

1) It is for this site's 840 Desrosiers contest
2) I have one of the early weights and
3) I can claim 1st place for at least 2 days

I figured what the heck.

The final pics are in my journal and the final measurements were C=122" SS=73" BS=74" OTT=269" Est ~403 lbs.

Not huge by this sites standards. But, for what it's worth, it was my personal best and was fun to grow!

I will give a choice of an 838 or 714 Bobier '02 (both the same Bobier cross as 723 and 845) to the closest guess WITHOUT GOING UNDER. The seed is from pandp and cost me $25. You can wait and see what seed does best this year before claiming prize.

Small Print:
Sorry. Local help and those 'in the know' do not qualify.
If multiple guesses correct. First one in wins.
I'll post winner the first of next week on this msg string.
Personal best was 349 lbs.

wooohooo let me be the first to jump on this one. Based on the preferential nesbitt treatment recieved, divided by the heat in utah x the averages of the 805 pukos to date. This baby will weigh almost 10% heavy. so my final answer is 443 lbs.... Shannon

The weight was 440#. 10% heavy. Shannon/Rainydays had it almost pegged on the first guess.

No one got it exactly, but Case was closest - off by one without going under (per the large print small print above).

Honorable mention to April/Nymph for being one under!

Let me know what one you want Case (by year's end)!

Congrats all. If was a fun day/season!!!
