How to Choose a Scale
Determining the proper livestock scale for your farming operation requires some specific details. It would be best to consider whether you require a portable or permanent scale and how large of livestock you’ll be weighing. If your operations need animals to be weighed across multiple locations, such as at auction sites or between field transfers, then a portable scale is likely the best solution. However, if you prefer to weigh livestock in one centralized location, a permanent scale is likely your best option. Both types of scales offer a range of benefits, and our team at Accurate Scale can assist you in figuring out which would be best for your purposes.
Benefits of Cattle Scales from Accurate Scale
At Accurate Scale, our livestock scales are perfect for your sheep, cattle, or pig operations. Our Rice Lake livestock weighing systems can easily fit into your current process while providing you with several benefits. Some of those benefits are as follows:
Durability
When dealing with livestock, you want to choose equipment that can withstand the wear and tear these animals may cause. It would help if you also considered the demands of weighing livestock; their weight can be significant, and your scale needs to be accurate and able to manage that. Fortunately, livestock scales from Accurate Scale are built to last through various difficult factors. Each livestock scale has rugged all-weather powder paint and features a patented design that makes them incredibly durable, even if you plan to transport them to another location.
Versatility
Rice Lake’s livestock scales have been designed with versatility in mind. Accurate Scale’s portable group animal scales can provide precise livestock weights in locations where the scales may not be completely level. The manual lift/lower lever system makes loading and unloading easy. While the onboard weigh center is conveniently located on the exterior of the cage, that way reading the weights of your livestock is safe and straightforward. Speaking of safety, the low profile of the rubberized weighing platform is only 6 inches off the ground, which makes it easier to get your animals up onto the scale.
