Choosing the right Gallagher Weigh & Data System

Brad-Dwyer
Sep 2, 2020 Cattle ID, Sheep ID, Weights & Data 0 Comment

Looking for simple solutions that make farm life easier and more profitable. Gallagher understands the needs of livestock producers and have produced some brilliant solutions.

The real benefits from eartags are seen when using weigh scales, data collection units with fixed or handheld scanners. We're often asked ``what solution will perform the tasks I need, how will it work with a scanner/reader``. Well here's a brief overview of Gallagher solutions with links to resources that you may find useful.
Brad Dwyer - 4Tags.com

Why Weigh?

• Select animals by weight for sale and slaughter
• Meet processing key weights for premium prices
• Evaluate breeding performance for genetic selection
• Measure and record weaning weights
• Manage animal weights prior to mating for better reproduction rates
• Measure feed conversion to maximise yield by monitoring weight gain over time
• Monitor animal health.

Why use EID?

• Quick, easy and accurate EID and/or animal data capture
• Read and transfer animal ID’s for NLIS compliance
• Link lambs/calves to mothers
• Record visual ID numbers against EID’s in the yard
• Add and edit data such as condition scores and animal notes
• Sort animals into groups based upon EID number
• Validate stock reconciliation and stock on hand
