While it may seem easy to eyeball the weight of your calves, the reality is that scales are much more reliable, and in fact, a vital part of running your farm and agricultural practices. In addition to helping your monitor the growth ratio of your herd to monitoring your distribution of feed and more, scales make staying on top of the day to day tasks simple. When it comes to caring for your cattle, weigh scales offer the following benefits:
Effective Weight and Growth Management
Cattle scales play an integral role in allowing you to keep a close eye on the weight fluctuations and growth trajectory of your herd. This is useful from right from birth up until the final sale and can help you monitor their overall health and wellness, as well as adjust feeding routines accordingly.
Reproductive and Health Monitoring
Another avenue positively benefited by cattle scales is the insights they provide when it comes to health matters, both from and identifying breeding potential perspective and uncovering any underlying medical issues. Sudden fluctuations can often point to an issue or new development at hand, both of which merit keen awareness for the health of your herd. Weighing will also help to identify the right dosage of medications if needed to treat and extenuating issues or health problems.
How to Choose a Scale
Choosing the right kind of scale for your cattle comes down to a number of details. Knowing your specific needs will make it easier to narrow the field. The most important factor to determine is whether you need a portable or permanent scale for your purposes. When deciding, consider if you have livestock that will need to be weighed in multiple locations, including post-transfer to auction sites, or if you’d prefer to weigh cattle in the same location they will be processed. For the former, a portable scale is likely a better fit, whereas, for the latter, a permanent scale is a preferable option.
