On Sat., Sept. 27 the pumpkin on the 603.5 Muller(south) plant was harvested. It was weighed at the weighoff in Delano on Sept. 28. It weighed 753.5 lbs. So it went about 10.5% heavy to the estimate.
It won the prize for "prettiest pumpkin".
I remeasured the circumference today, but will leave the other measurements as they were, as it's hard to remeasure these the way the pumpkin is on the pallet.
The final measurements are: Circ.= 138.75", S-to-S= 91", E-to-E= 88.75". OTT= 318.75", for an estimated 681 lbs.
Here's a pic of the pumpkin in my dad's pickup:
