Weighing Your Sheep and Goat Accurately and With Minimal Stress for Healthier Stock
This time of year when we’re heading into spring and sheep or goats may soon be giving birth, it’s important to be able to weigh your animals regularly and accurately. You will want to make sure your livestock are getting what they need to develop as they should, especially since healthy livestock helps you get the best return on your investment.
At D-S Livestock Equipment in Frostburg, Maryland, our team offers the quality livestock handling equipment you need to keep your operations running smoothly. Our scales incur minimal stress to your animals so they are healthier and happier when it comes time to check on their health.
Weighing can be what tips you off if something’s going on with the herd so treatment can be implemented quickly. It’s important for you to know if an animal experiences sudden weight loss. If there’s a problem, they’ll need to be checked by your veterinarian to make sure there’s no threat of disease that could impact the rest of the animals.
Weighing also allows you to make sure your animals are gaining weight correctly and how fast they are gaining. Proper feed schedules with the necessary dietary nutrients they need, along with prompt medical treatment can be especially helpful when you are breeding your livestock. Our D-S Livestock Equipment offers top quality weighing equipment that supports your livestock operation.
