Automatic cattle weighing crate

By taking several readings a day for each beast and providing you with an average weight at any point during the day or night puts you in greater control. This enables you to ensure optimal weight for your cattle, while at the same time reducing labour and waste bedding and feed from keeping cattle too long.

The RITCHIE Beef Monitor also provides you with added insight into your herd by identifying issues you may not spot straight away such as frozen pipes or feed inefficiency. Easily set up and operated, the data is stored in the cloud for viewing on any computer, tablet or smartphone enabling monitoring at your fingertips.

FETF67 ELIGIBLE. WITH THE SOLAR PANEL KIT LISTED BELOW. THE PRICE STATED IS ALL INCLUDED. PLUS VAT + P+P.

The Solar Panel Kit has a battery included and it allows for use of the Ritchie Beef Monitor (BM3000) in the field or all locations away from a power source.

The Solar Panel Kit alongside the Ritchie Beef Monitor crate allows cattle to be weighed multiple times a day without the use of labour and without moving cattle from their location. A huge reduction in stress for both stockmen and stock.

After installing the Solar Panels Kit and Ritchie Beef Monitor unit in a finishing pen of up to 50 head, the cattle access the water trough by stepping on the weighing platform. Using EID ear tags an accurate weight of each beast can be recorded and sent to the cloud every time they go to water. This enables beef finishing units to monitor the growth rate of their cattle closely.

Average daily weights and average daily live weight gains are recorded and calculated for you using the website and handy app, suitable for smartphones or laptops, enabling the stockman to determine how the stock is performing at a glance.
