Recording weights using the Shearwell weighing systems reduces time and provides a fast accurate method of capturing weight information. Linked by Bluetooth (wireless) to the weigh head, the Stock Recorder will display the current weight; the last three weights with the dates the animal was weighed and the DLWG since the last record and stores the full weight history for the animal. FarmWorks by SDL produces reports showing daily live-weight gain by individual sires/dams/ source and give comparisons between sires, breeds and groups. The weigh crate is fitted with a race reader, antenna and switcher for fast, accurate automatic identification. It will read all types of ISO compliant tags and bolus. Whilst other weighing systems use the weigh head as the unit to capture, display and download weight data to a PC, the Stock Recorder is far more versatile, as it will capture and record all of the information required for management of stock including the weights. It also allows the user to look up information on animals and record comments against them. 8 week weights, 20 week weights and wean weights can also be recorded. Together with the Stock Recorder, the weigh crate can also be used to record movements, treatments, tupping, and adding animals into management groups. Multiple actions can be recorded with one read. For example weighing, recording a treatment and recording a movement.
