Growth tracking.

[Colonel]

G'day all.
Monty, my BHP, is 11 months old now, and growing. I tried to measure his length just now but it didn't go too well. How do I get him to stretch out so I can get an accurate measurement.
Thank you.

I find the easieast way is to put them in a place they want to stretch. I've done it in the back of a ute, but the best place i've found is a stretch of gutter in the street with no outlets in it.
My guys will get pretty straight in there and you can mentally mark each end when they go over a crack or a bit of grass hanging down etc, then come back with a tape measure later.
No stress and no holding.

Just an easy alternative suggestion if you don't need exact.
