You can gain as much as 41 # a day as did the 991 Hunt, which bless her
heart is now laid to rest after a courageous battle to stem split.
Sibbed it and kept the seed. Very accurate box scales weighs her thick
shoulders and rear at 801. What a lose, but shook the 500# monkey off
the back. Good luck to those still in the race.
