Portable piggy weight scale HOG EQUIPMENT & IDEAS Hog Equipment & Ideas (351) 14-4-29 Thanks to this first-of-its kind management "tool", you can now record actual weights of individual pigs quickly and economically.
"Until now, hog producers have had to weigh small pigs in bunches and settle for "average" weight. But averages can be deceiving," says Don Meiners, manufacturer-marketer who cites the parable of the man standing with one foot on an ice chunk and the other in a pail of boiling water. "On the average, he's comfortable."
Meiners' new digital scale weighs up to 50 lbs. in 1/10th/lb. increments. It comes with two vertical V-shaped leg holders to fit all size pigs from birth through 50 lbs.
Made in the U.S. of high density plastic, it's moisture-proof and sells for $195.
