Just wondering who has successfully bred a female at a somewhat smaller size? I know the rule is 1500-1700 grams, and 3 years old depending on opinion but my personal standards are three years old and at least 2000.

With that being said, I took in a collection about a month and a half ago with several adult females all 4 years old and older. All of them were on the skinny side, about 1000 to 1400 grams. Well I have successfully gotten them all up and over 1500 and would still like to try breeding them this season.

Any thoughts on the subject? Anyone who has done it with smaller females without failure?
