Carr, I echo what Mark Wintermute said. The weight of a 2-year blackbelly should be around 110-120 lb. Your best option would be to obtain a good ram and try to breed the size back into your flock. At 18 months, rams will have achieved most of their body weight, so I doubt that you will gain anything by holding on to them longer.

Should I
let the rams grow another year so that can gain more weight?
