Read About Choosing Livestock Weight Tapes

If you need a fairly accurate reading of your animals' weights without using a scale, try using a weight tape.

Things to Consider:

  • Different Breeds – Weight tapes are specially made for dairy and beef cows, and hogs. Be sure to select the appropriate tape for your animal to get more accurate results.

  • Know their weight – In order for you to accurately feed and administer proper doses of medication when needed, it is important to know the weight of your animal.

  • Monitoring – Weight tapes can help you monitor the gain or loss of weight in your animals, especially if you are concerned they are not eating enough or if they are eating too much.
