    50 euro for scales hired from nearest Homeland store, picked up at 10am dropped back the following day. was handier than getting a guy in with scales as cattle would not be in all 1 group

    We paid 50e as well from our co-op. Rented on a weekend so got it until Monday morning. It was quite hassle free to weigh them and didn't take too long at all. Prob the most money we ever earned for a few hours work!

    Re Beep Scheme. Our local AI man does weighing of cow & calf & uploads data to ICBF site for Five Euro per pair.Makes sense for us as we have small herd.

    Was that a local Kerry Store? Dairygold Superstores don't seem to be renting them.

    anyone know of a contractor that would come to weight, rather than renting out the scales myself in the clare/limerick area?
