Which is the more accurate formula for estimating weight?
10.1709 x Heart girth (inches) - 205.7492 or
Girth x girth x length / 400

I have used the washington state heart girth weight chart. It is fairly accuate + or - 5 pounds. Just make sure you dont pull too tight

Honestly, I would just try to get access to a scale. I tried formulas a couple of years ago to estimate my barrow’s weight and once we gained access to a scale, we weighed him and discovered that we were WAY off, like 50 lbs. off. So if you can use a scale somehow, that is the most accurate I have found. Hope this helps! :)
