I think we’re going to need a bit more to go on…

Is it brand new, or ‘new to you’?
Is it a spring balance or weigh cell?

Make sure the nut is screwed far enough up the thread at the bottom of the scale (dial). Sometimes mine rattles down and the scale bottoms out and you think none of your lambs are ready

One the scale theres a threaded nut does that need to be screwed right in. Yea we weighed 4 lambs and 3ewes and it says they only weigh 20kg

Did you zero the scale with nothing on it.

 

[Smokey16]

Yes I did.

Is the scale free floating with a lamb in it?

Ring an auction mart and ask them how to sort it....oh no wait

Yes, screw it up other wise the scales will be hitting the bottom of the frame which is why your sheep are all 20kg. I could be wrong but mine done the same and have to keep checking it

You would have been better buying a second hand one and swapping the weigh head to a digital one from @Allied Weighing

Transformed by old IAE crate though it us now demoted to backup.
