I know it's unscientific, but I don't use a weight. I basically think that breeding is OK if

1. Female is finished growing for the most part. (i.e. not breeding as soon as sexually mature)

2. Condition is above healthy. (i.e. a good amount of fat reserves although not too obese). Animal has adequate stores of calcium and other vitamin/minerals (getting supplements for a while).
