How much do you think this boar would weigh? Sorry there is nothing in the picture to compare its size to. I shot it over the weekend and didn't have a way to weigh him. I have shot one in the past that was 215 lbs and this one was bigger then it.

Some on here can probably tell you if this works. I have no idea if it does but it's bettrer than nothing.

I've found this to be a very accurate method no length measurement required just heart girth. I weighed and measured a couple hundred and most were within 10 pounds of the measured estimate.

Heart girth is measured in inches using a cloth measuring tape. The tape is placed directly behind the front legs, wrapped snugly around the heart girth, and read directly behind the shoulders.

pig weight = 10.1709 x Heart girth (inches) minus 205.7492.


Using the above formula, we get the following:


40 inch = 200 pounds
42 inch = 220 pounds
43 inch = 230 pounds
44 inch = 240 pounds
45 inch = 250 pounds
-------------------------------
46 inch = 260 pounds
47 inch = 270 pounds
48 inch = 280 pounds
49 inch = 290 pounds
-----------------------------
50 inch = 300 pounds
51 inch = 310 pounds
