Herd Scan paid for itself in a single sale.
Tony Gee — Lifestyle beef farmer · ~15 cattle sold a year
Tony sells around 15 beef cattle each year — some finished, others sold in the paddock for someone else to finish. “I don't own cattle scales, so I've always been estimating weights,” he says.
“This year I had eight cattle to sell through a livestock agent. After looking at them in the paddock, he estimated they averaged 360 kg and made an offer based on that weight.
Before making a decision, I scanned the herd using Herd Scan while we were standing in the paddock. Herd Scan estimated an average liveweight of 396 kg. After discussing the results, we agreed to settle on 390 kg average.
Using Herd Scan removed the guesswork, avoided an awkward negotiation, and increased my return by $1,725 from that one sale.”
