Cattle has to be weigh in to be sold or for record keeping. Part of the best practices of cattle management at our feedlot. Remember about cattle stress and moving them around to much, well if you have 30 heads of cattle weighing in and they lost 3 lbs each you just lost 90 lbs at $1.00 is about $90.00 today because you implied bad management practices or feed schedule. I can tell you all about that in another post. These scales are in the ground and are pretty sophisticated. I can assure you that every top operation ranch has one. Balancing these babies are a must as rain, dirt, and water can effect your real numbers. In some cases you just drive your trailer righ on it and weigh them in.
