I was wondering if any of you have used the hgxhgxL devided by 400 method of estimating the hogs size? and was it accurate. thanks, Keith in Or.

According to this web site: Pig Weight Calculation, http://www.pigs4ever.com/PotBelliedPigInfo/size_weight.htm, Girth squared X Length/400=Pig Weight within 3% of Actual, Credit for this formula goes to the Old Farmer's Almanac 1993.
