Hi Patti -- I know it is all a guesstimate, as they can stall out early or have a late growth spurt and throw off all the charts. But out of curiosity, where did you come up with your estimate? I would guesstimate 2 to 2 1/2 pounds too depending on some other input (i.e. I usually like to know how many in litter and other sizes. A oner will usually get big fast and slow down as he gets older -- so initial guestimate will look like he is going to be bigger than actual. Large litters will usually have some late starts who will catch up quickly when they get out on their own). But I just was really curious how you came up with your guess. I like to store away any info.
