Why should you weigh Sheep and Lambs?

Weighing the animals is absolutely critical in any farm. One of the best ways to keep a check on your animal’s health and progress is with accurate weighing.  Each animal has target weights for the different growth stages it goes through. Weighing scales are necessary for accurate, animal specific performance data which allows farmers to make better informed decisions, optimizing the performance of your animals

Accurate weight can be used to assess the correct amount of feed an animal should get, avoiding costly overfeeding or underfeeding. Weighing can also help determine a correct weaning time so that the mother isn’t overtaxed. It also allows you to determine the possible values of the live animal in relation to the market price.

Farmers are increasingly finding that factories are stipulating specific acceptable weights and weights above this have no direct benefits to the farmers.
