Is there a way to sort of get an accurate weight of your goat without a scale? Similar to how people use a tape measure for their piggy?

Thanks

You can do this... use any cloth measuring tape. Weight tapes that you can buy at Tractor Supply and other places are not particularly accurate.

Heart girth is measured all the way around the chest.

Should work well regardless of the type of goat.
