Goats on the test were weighed July 2, according to Dr. Mike Salisbury at Angelo State University. Average weight for all goats on the test was 69.9 pounds with an average daily gain of 0.55 pounds per day calculated. Dr. Salisbury writes:

Weights and gains are right on target with past years. As all of you are aware, the weather has been extrememly hot and dry, but the last week or se we have received some much needed rain and the temperatures have cooled. Therefore, during the extreme temperatures and dry conditions, intakes were below normal but have increased and the goats are back to normal.
