In Mississippi, if you put in some 6-8 inch commonly available CC now, and feed them to satiation, they will be 3 pounds by late October. Mine were nearly that big, some bigger, in NW Arkansas at 1225 ft elevation. Stocked Oct 2015 at 5-8 inches. Some of the fish farms sell 11-12 inch CC for about a dollar each. There is a place near here that sells brooders of 2-4 pounds at $3.25 a pound.
