I agree with the previous poster. You not only have to take weight into consideration, but condition as well. I currently have two females who are the same age and approximately the same weight. However, for whatever reason, my Pastel female put most of her growth into length. While my Cinnamon put a lot of her weight into girth. I am breeding the Cinnamon this year because she has good weight and heft (or robustness, call it what you will), but not the Pastel because she is so skinny she looks like a male. Other breeders might have different opinions, however.
