Scales


One of the most important decisions an independent producer can make when raising hogs is identifying and selecting a market. In order to obtain the greatest return, farmers must be able to recognize animal quality, uniformity, and health status, so the wrong animals aren't marketed prematurely. Visually recognizing these animal attributes isn't easy and leaves room for human error. 

Whether you’re weighing market hogs to capture packer premiums or checking the growth of 4-H and FFA animals, Osborne’s ACCU-ARM livestock scales offer a rock-solid weighing system for a variety of livestock, including pigs, calves, sheep, and goats.

About

Both systems feature a cable-free, solid weighing platform. By using a system of precision levers to reduce sway and bounce, it ensures platforms are free of binding for the most accurate weighing.
