YOUR STORE FOR LOAD CELLS, SCALE, WEIGHT INDICATORS.
Steady weights on animals that won't stand still.
Livestock weighing for the chute, the alley and the sale barn: weigh bars under a squeeze chute, platform scales on shear-beam load cells, indicators that hold a steady weight on a moving animal, and records by ear tag on your phone. We fit weighing to the chutes and pens you already run, and ship from stock in Davie, FL.
Livestock weighing solutions, from the chute to the sale barn
We add weighing, steady readings and records to the chutes, alleys and platforms you already run. Pick a solution to see where it fits and what it includes. Weighing feed rather than animals? See agricultural weighing.
One supplier for every weigh point
Every orange part on the drawing is something we supply: weigh bars under the chute, shear-beam cells under the platform, the junction box that joins them, the indicators that read them and the Bluetooth transmitter that sends the weight to your phone. Pick a solution above, or tap a ring on the drawing.
Chute-side weighing
Weigh bars bolt under a squeeze chute or a flat weigh platform, so each animal is weighed while it's being worked: vaccinate, tag and weigh in one pass. Portable kits pack the bars, a battery indicator and the power supply in one case, so the same scale moves between pens and pastures.

Group and platform scales
Shear-beam load cells under a fabricated deck make a permanent alley or platform scale for weighing a run of stock or a whole pen at once. A junction box joins the cells into one reading, so a feedlot or sale barn gets one weight per group without moving the scale.

- Junction boxesJoin the cells into one reading
- Leveling feetSet the cells level on the pad

Steady weights on moving animals
Livestock indicators have animal-weighing modes that average the reading over 1 to 64 samples and hold one stable weight while the animal shifts on the deck. The operator stops waiting for the display to settle, and every head gets a number you can use.

- CablesBars or cells to the indicator
Records by ear tag
The bar-kit indicator pairs over Bluetooth with WSysFarm, our herd app, and an RFID stick reader puts the animal's tag number on the same record, so weights, dates and daily gain build up by head with no clipboard. On a platform scale, a Bluetooth weighing transmitter reads the cells and sends the weight to your phone, with a serial port for an ear-tag reader.

- WTBT-BR Bluetooth transmitterUp to four load cells, IP65, a port for an ear-tag reader

Retrofit and upgrades
Keep the bars or cells that still work and replace the part that doesn't. Our bar-kit indicator accepts standard 6-wire load-bar inputs, so it reads Gallagher and Tru-Test bars once wiring and calibration are confirmed, and we match replacement shear-beam cells to the ones in your platform scale.

- Shear-beam load cellsMatched to the cell you're replacing
- Junction boxesRejoin the cells after a repair
- CablesReplace a damaged harness
Weights by head, recorded as you work
A livestock indicator holds a steady reading on a moving animal, and a Bluetooth link sends it to a herd app on your phone. Pair an ear-tag reader and every weight lands on the right animal's record, ready to compare with the last weigh.
- Animal-weighing modes
- The indicator averages 1 to 64 samples, with an adjustable tolerance, and holds the weight once the animal is steady enough.
- Weight by ear tag
- An RFID stick reader pairs with the app and writes the tag number into the same record as the weight.
- Daily gain across sessions
- Compare each weight with the last one, calculate daily gain, and export herd records as CSV or PDF.
- Works without signal
- Records stay on the phone and sync to the cloud the next time it has signal.
- Power in the field
- The bar-kit indicator runs up to 40 hours on a charge with one load cell connected, and recharges from a 12 V vehicle outlet or solar.
- Printed tickets
- Print date, time, gross, tare and net on a ticket printer for buyers and vets.

Questions buyers ask
How do you get a steady weight on an animal that won't stand still?
With an animal-weighing mode on the indicator. It averages the reading over 1 to 64 samples, with an adjustable tolerance, and holds a stable weight once the animal is steady enough. You don't wait for the display to settle on its own.
Will the bars, cells and indicator survive mud, manure and washdown?
Yes. Our livestock indicators have IP68 housings, the shear-beam cells we supply for platform scales are IP68, and the Bluetooth weighing transmitters are IP65. The weigh-bar kit travels in an IP65 carry case.
Can I keep the Gallagher or Tru-Test bars I already have?
Usually, yes. Our bar-kit indicator accepts standard 6-wire load-bar inputs and can replace the original head unit on Gallagher, Tru-Test or similar bars once wiring and calibration are confirmed. Order the indicator on its own if you don't need a second set of bars.
Will weigh bars fit under my squeeze chute?
Weigh bars bolt under a squeeze chute, to the chute's base frame and a level concrete pad, or under a flat weigh platform. They come without brand-specific brackets, so drilling or a fabricated platform may be needed. Send the chute make, model and base dimensions and we confirm fit before you order.
Can I record weights by ear tag on my phone?
Yes. The bar-kit indicator pairs over Bluetooth with WSysFarm, our herd app, which saves each weight with the date, time and location. Add an RFID stick reader and the tag number goes into the same record. Our Bluetooth weighing transmitters also have a serial port for an ear-tag reader.
What are typical lead times?
Common weigh bars, kits and indicators ship same day from Davie, FL. Custom cable lengths, Bluetooth bundles and permanent-install shear-beam cells usually take 1 to 3 weeks. Exact dates come with the quote.
