Re: It's been done before!!!

So Andrew, if you grew a 1500lber on the tape - and there was Absolutely NO
WAY to get it to the weighoff, would it not count as a record if you had the
local agriculture dept weigh it with loads of witnesses?
I think not, the way you talk about it and you would have to live with that.

Personally I believe it would count as a record, am sure you would want it
to, and hope you wouldn't be bitter about rules meaning you miss out on all
the glory.


just another way of looking at things...
