Mathew’s Story: Smarter Weighing on a 2,000‑Head Farm

Mathew Barham’s experience with the StrongBó Auto Weigher
Managing up to 2,000 cattle across a 1,020‑hectare station means efficiency is everything for Hawke’s Bay farmer Mathew Barham — and the StrongBó Auto Weigher has quickly become a game‑changer in his operation.
“We’ve only got one set of yards on a large station, so getting mobs there just to weigh them is time‑consuming,” he explains. “The Auto Weigher was a practical and cheaper solution compared to building another yard.” After cross‑checking results with his traditional scales, he was impressed to find every animal — bar one — within just a few kilos. “Not having to move cattle several kilometres to weigh them reduces stress and frees up my team’s day,” he adds. With its robust build and seamless integration into his routine, Mathew sees the Auto Weigher as a valuable tool for any farmer wanting better insights, healthier animals, and smarter decision‑making.
