New sheep scales

Homer jay · 2025-05-28 13:53:14

Hi, I am looking to buy a sheep scales for weighing lambs and Hogget, was using a neighbours scales/cage but depending on where the lamb stood in it he could be 4/5kgs lighter or heavier, was wondering what scales people on here are using that would weigh them accurately. Tia, Homer.

Digital scales the only job. We have the crate and Digital clock from Stanley, super job, have weighed a ram weighing 110kg in it no bother.

Thanks for that DJ98, the crate i was using also had a digital clock, maybe the crate was too big for lambs as unless the lamb stood in the middle of the crate it wouldn't give accurate weight, what brand of crate do you use ?
