Livestock Scales, Crates & Clippers — Buying Guide

Livestock Weighing Scales

Accurate livestock weighing is essential for monitoring animal growth, determining market readiness, administering accurate drenching and vaccination doses, and managing feed and nutrition programs. Our livestock scales range from simple hanging scales for individual animals to full platform scales for weighing individual sheep and cattle. Regular weighing is one of the most effective tools for optimising production performance on a farm.

Animal Handling Crates

Livestock handling crates provide a safe, controlled environment for managing individual animals during drenching, vaccination, weighing, foot care and veterinary examination. A quality handling crate reduces stress for both the animal and the handler, improving the safety and efficiency of livestock management tasks. Our crates are built to withstand daily use in demanding farm environments.

Animal Clippers and Shearing Equipment

Regular shearing, crutching and clipping are essential management tasks for sheep, alpacas and other fibre-producing animals. Our animal clipper range covers everything from lightweight hand shears for small flocks to electric and battery-powered clippers for more regular use. Proper maintenance of clipper blades extends their life and ensures a clean, even cut.

Selecting the Right Equipment

Match your equipment to your flock or herd size and the frequency of use. For small hobby farms, lightweight portable options are often most practical. For larger commercial operations, durable heavy-duty equipment with professional-grade motors and components will provide better long-term value. Consider ease of cleaning and maintenance when comparing options.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate are livestock weighing scales?
Quality livestock scales are typically accurate to within 0.1–0.5kg depending on the type and capacity. Platform scales are more accurate than hanging scales for larger animals. Calibrate regularly for best results.

Do I need a crush or crate for drenching sheep?
A drench race or handling crate significantly improves the safety and efficiency of drenching, particularly for larger flocks. It reduces animal stress and ensures accurate drench delivery to each individual animal.
