I think if you have a male and he is a real whopper like 4000 or 5000 grams, you might be able to say he is genetically disposed to pass along large size to hiss offspring. Any random 2000gram male is no more likely to have big offspring than any 1200gram one would.

I guess if you are planning on breeding the male to 20 females that year is might be worth the cash, but most folks are not really planning to breed a male that much. Besides, I have had 400 gram males that have been gangbusters with the women.
