woh... i had no idea there was a formula to get the weight.... I thought that was a joke.
What if one food is more dense than another?

That formula is for S-B and is faily accurate - by no means concrete...

Wally Brown gave me the formula similar to Slips. Length X Girth (sq.) Divided by 800. An approx. weight. That is how he figured out the price to charge you I think. It is pretty close. P.

length times girth times girth divided by 800

Weight(lbs) = [(girth-in) x (girth-in) x( length-in)]/800

Weight(lbs) = [(girth-in) x (girth-in) x( length-in)]/800
