Ah.  Well.  In my experience, most of my early-neuter gibs are larger than
my late neuter gibs.  But you know, it's hard to break the mold.  Everyone
always says "Let him mature before you neuter him - he'll be bigger." You
sorta fall into a belief pattern.
 
However - how does one explain 3.75lb, 6 month old Rachel?  You haven't seen
a big female until you've seen her.  She is bigger than many of both my
early and late neuters!
