I just weighed a couple of my 8 month old cockerels today, one to keep as a breeder and one for processing. They both were in the 9 1/2 pound range. Seemed big for 8 to 9 moths old. Do you think they are pretty much done growing? Isn't that the size called for in the SOP for a full grown rooster?? Looking forward to my first Good Shepherd dinner, hope I'm not dissapointed. .....stan
