Goldie is loaded on the trailer and we leave at 7:15 in the morning. Don’t have far to go, but will have to stop at car wash to wash trailer out.

The carwash will love you long time for that

One of these times, go by a truck stop with scales, and get them to weigh the truck and trailer so you have a "base weight". Then the next time you take an animal, all you have to do is go by and get a loaded weight and you will have a pretty accurate weight on the animal/s in the trailer. Or you can take it loaded and then weigh after you unload on the way home, same trip, to know. Yeah, it costs a couple dollars to get a weight... if you go back within 24 hours it is a "reweigh" and usually only costs another dollar to do. But this will give you a lot better idea of weight.

My empty weight is wrote down on the back of my sun visor. My buddy owns a scale at a scrap yard less then 5 miles from us

That’s what we did with Wilbur, the 500 pound boar that turned out to weigh 820 pounds! His hanging weight was 506. He was a BIG BOY.
