It is hard to guess what a Beira (antelope) weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Beira (antelope) (Dorcatragus megalotis) on average weights 10.91 kg (24.05 lbs).
The Beira (antelope) is from the family Bovidae (genus: Dorcatragus). They can live for up to 14 years. When reaching adult age, they grow up to 77.9 cm (2′ 7″). Usually, Beira (antelope)s have 1 babies per litter.
As a reference: An average human weights in at 62 kg (137 lbs) and reaches an average size of 1.65m (5′ 5″). Humans spend 280 days (40 weeks) in the womb of their mother and reach around 75 years of age.
The beira (Dorcatragus megalotis) is a small arid adapted antelope that inhabits arid regions of the Horn of Africa.
