Boer kids weight

[MrsDieselEngineer]

What should Boer kids weigh at 8 weeks old? My black/white doeling, Sparkle weighs 30 lbs as of this morning and she's 8 weeks old. She's in excellent health, and looks like a fat butterball but just curious what the average weight is for 8 weeks.

My newest baby, Skeet weighed in at 10 lbs and she's 4 days. I should have weighed her at birth but didn't... She is growing though, you can almost watch her!

I always figure if you have an 8 to 10 lb kid on average and gain between .4 to .5 lbs per day you would have a fairly good weight gain, although I have seen weight gains in the .6 lb per day range.

so 8 lbs plus (.4x7) x8 weeks = 30.4 lbs at 8 weeks of age

10lb plus (.5x7) x8 weeks = 38lbs at 8 weeks of age.

Hope that helps.

Sounds like your 2 little ones are doing swimmingly!

Thanks 20kids, that helps

I'll weigh both of them in a month and see how much they weight they have put on.
