Here’s a rather efficient way of obtaining your pig’s weight. This is best done at feed time, however a pig’s head needs to be up to get the best measurement.
1.   Measure the pigs heart girth (HG) right behind the front legs.
2.   Measure between the ears to the base of the tail (L).
3.   Multiply the heart girth measurement (HG) times itself, then multiply that times the length measurement (L).
4.   Now, divide that sum by 400. This is your approximate live weight.
The weigh formula is HG X HG X L/ 400 = WEIGHT.


Doc nemo,
