What Is a Livestock Scale?
Livestock scales are specifically designed to provide accurate weighs for cattle, hogs, sheep and other livestock. These scales can be used in various environments to weigh single or multiple animals simultaneously.
Rice Lake livestock solutions can make a measurable difference in your farming and ranching application. Rice Lake’s livestock scales are constructed of durable materials that resist corrosion to ensure safe weighing procedures and stability. Choose between a steel, concrete or rubber scale deck option for your Rice Lake livestock scale. Galvanized or mild steel weighbridges provide sturdy support for heavy capacities, and different rubber flooring options are available to provide extra support in tough environments.
Why Do I Need a Livestock Scale?
Weight data is crucial for ranchers to monitor animal health, growth, breeding, shrink and more. When selling livestock, it’s important the scales used are Legal for Trade. With the ability to bring the scale to the animal, Rice Lake’s MAS line of livestock scales provides accessible weighing to nearly any environment.
How Can I Reduce Shrink?
Shrink refers to the amount of weight lost after transport. Depending on travel distance, weather and other stress factors, animals can lose significant weight during transportation. Although it cannot be eliminated, shrink can be reduced by weighing animals at the farm.
Whether selling large or small numbers of livestock, minimizing livestock shrink is a significant factor in maximizing your ranch’s bottom line. Quickly calculate the savings and return on your Rice Lake livestock scale investment with our Livestock Shrink Calculator.
