Why Most Ranchers Don't Weigh Often Enough

Weight data drives every sell, feed, and breed decision — but getting it has always meant expensive equipment, stressed animals, and an entire crew tied up for the day. So most ranchers skip it, and decisions get made on gut feel instead of data.

01

Scales cost thousands and break often.

Livestock scales run $3,000-$15,000, need constant calibration, and still give inconsistent readings from one weigh to the next.

02

Weighing stresses the cattle.

Running animals through chutes spikes cortisol. Stressed cattle gain weight slower, produce lower quality meat, and can lose up to 5% of body weight during a single weighing event.

03

It ties up your whole crew for hours.

Gathering, sorting, and moving cattle through handling facilities is a full-day operation. Most ranchers weigh less often than they should because of the time cost.

"Cost is the number 1 thing. We are willing to invest if it makes their practices more efficient."

Libby Putnam

Ranch Owner, Florida

"We would weigh them once per month... instead, the standard is weighing when the animal enters or exits the property."

Gina Tran

Rancher, Colorado

"It used to take us 45 days to weigh the herd."

Take photos with any iPhone or Android. No chutes, no scales, no handling required.

Stress-free

Cattle stay calmer, gain weight faster, and produce better meat when you skip the chute.

Cheaper than scales

A smartphone you already own replaces equipment that costs thousands to buy and maintain.
