In weighing cattle you want to be sure that the scale you are using is accurate, durable, convenient and most importantly, animal friendly. It is of great importance to assure that your cattle is of the appropriate weight, healthy and stable for your cattle needs. In caring for your cattle it is imperative to gauge proper portions for feeding, which is directly comparable to weight, as well as doses of medicine which is weight determined, also. The monitoring of weight is also crucial as it is a clear indicator of health issues and breeding performance. If there is a noticeable and abrupt change in weight as indicated by the cattle weighing scale you may better assess if there is need for veterinary attention for your cattle. This is imperative information for the animal’s caregiver. If these reasons are amongst your cattle weighing needs then you’ve come to the right place in search of the perfect scale because it will be found at Aryln Scales.
Aryln Scales is well aware of the fact that many animals are generally uncomfortable stepping up on to platform scales. The cattle scales designed by Arlyn Scales conveniently feature an extremely low profile of about 1 7/8” high which makes it easier to lead the animal onto the platform. A rubber mat is also standard on these scales for added comfort. Rubber mats on cattle weighing scales are also easy to clean as they may simply be hosed down when necessary for upkeep.

Many of the cattle scales are standard with a weight capacity of 500lbs up to 10,000 lb and are made with welded construction throughout the scales, as opposed to sheet metal, for superior durability. Stainless steel is used for the load cells and aluminum for the body for excellent rust protection.
If your animal is under 200 pounds you may want to consider using a hanging scale. Not only are hanging scales cheaper than other livestock scales they are also conveniently portable. Special hooking brackets as well as a sling can be purchased to be placed around the animal to secure it in the scale for added safety.
Accuracy is likely at the top of your requirement for scale needs. The scales at Arlyn Scales are manufactured with cutting edge electronics coupled with specialized alloy stainless steel load cells to result in a scale with high levels of accuracy and repeatability. An accyract of 1/10 of 1% allows accurate weighing of cattle varying all sizes. If your cattle will not stand still on the scale platform, an “animal average” button on the scale will accurately determine the correct weight of the animal. To round out these features, there is a large, graphics LCD readout screen and powerful data communication options to add to the state of the art equipment.
If this scale seems to match your interest but there are additional features required to fully fit your need, consider having the perfect scale for you customized.
