I guessed 250+.

Based on girth measurement, he is between 310lbs and 340lbs live weight.

He measured 48" Chest Girth

Did you have to use the fork lift to get him out. That's a big one for sure.

We rolled him onto a hitch&haul that goes into your receiver on the back of the truck.  I was blessed with the fact we could pull right up to him in the field.  I watched him walk his routine sundown path for 200 yards right to me! 

He even looked both ways when he crossed the road!   :D :D
