It is hard to guess what a Mountain reedbuck weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Mountain reedbuck (Redunca fulvorufula) on average weights 29.2 kg (64.38 lbs).
The Mountain reedbuck is from the family Bovidae (genus: Redunca). It is usually born with about 2.72 kg (5.99 lbs). They can live for up to 12.25 years. When reaching adult age, they grow up to 1.23 meter (4′ 1″).
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 mountain reedbuck (Redunca fulvorufula) is an antelope found in mountainous areas of much of sub-Saharan Africa.
