Cattle Weighing System

Currently have a set of Trutest electronic weigh cells in our finishing shed for weighing the cattle. But we have a satellite shed which has a handling set up outside and I would like to be able to retrofit something to weigh the growing cattle. Ideally it would work with our trutest weigh head but price is more important as it won't be big numbers it's going to be used for.
Any help with what to do would be appreciated.

The best and easiest solution would be a tepari weight platform that just fits inside the crush.
Your trutest head should plug straight in.


Only problem it's not cheap!

we have one and it's very good,

£1250 off the top of my head, not cheap for what it is.

But it was cheaper &simpler than kitting out both our crushes with tepari load bars (we already had the weigh head on the sheep set up)
