- 01The Auto Weigher is a mobile weighing solution, it is placed with your cattle 24/7, providing you regular live weight and growth information without additional labour or livestock stress. Automated hassle free weighing. Weigh more frequently without the extra trips through the chute. Less manual labour for you, less stress for your animals. Impactful insights for improved performance. Easily identify low performers with the help of easy-to-understand graphs. Make proactive management decisions sooner, saving you time and money. Animal data at your fingertips. Partial weight data is captured and then converted to full body weight. This data is then sent securely to the Cloud. Easily access animal data on your mobile or desktop. Farm and cattle-tested. Proven farm-tough and aligns with animal behaviour. The machine is heavy and stable so it remains operational even among the largest of animals.
- 02The Auto Weigher is designed to provide information to you that will save labour, allow you to make better informed decisions to generate additional revenue, catch problems earlier, identify management practices that increase growth. Sleep better! Where mobs are being prepared for Mob Kill or Mob Sell, the Auto Weigher delivers more regular weight data, giving you visibility of weight progress and more data points to make confident decisions. In other instances, the Auto Weigher gives you accurate predictor of what animals will weigh when they reach the yards or processor. No surprises, better planning. Track selected mobs and groups over time to see what’s working and what isn’t with in-paddock Average Daily Gains (ADGs). The result? Labour savings. Make better-informed decisions. Generate additional revenue. Catch problems earlier. Identify management practices that drive growth… and sleep better!
- 03Yes! There is a high correlation between partial weight and whole body weight of beef cattle. The Auto Weigher quickly calculates the full body weight before sending it to the cloud. In typical conditions, we will provide an accurate mob average in several days(within 5%). Individual weight accuracy is more variable than mob-level data. The algorithm improves over time, so results get more reliable the longer animals are in the mob and the more regularly they visit the Auto Weigher. Group ADGs will be available within 3 days, and after 14 - 21 days, these will compare closely with Group ADGs between 2 yard weighing sessions over the same timeframe.
- 04No; it will weigh a portion of your mob. Not every animal will be attracted to the salt or molasses. Once we have weighed 30 - 50 animals we will have a very accurate ‘spot weigh’ of the mob - this typically takes only a few days. The proportion of the mob you will weigh is dependent on factors including but not limited to: mob size grazing area/pen size positioning of the unit the length of time the unit is with the mob.
- 05Any time you want liveweight information but do not want to run animals in to the yards! The Auto Weigher is most useful as a ‘spot weigh’ device giving you an accurate idea of how your cattle are doing now; without disturbing them or don't want/have the time or labour available to run them to the yards. We have customers all over the world making better decisions, and more money based on more up to date data.
