Learn from the Experts
With your purchase of livestock scales from CattleScales.com you have access to extensive resources and experience. Weighing cattle is a key part of cattle management, so you want to be sure you are getting the most from your cattle scales. CattleScales.com, operated by the CattleMax Team, is proud to provide cattle management recommendations and solutions for farmers and ranchers since 1999.
What you'll get by purchasing your scales from CattleScales.com:
High quality, rugged equipment: When it comes to weigh scales, we've chosen to only sell Tru-Test weigh scales. They are made specifically for livestock so they are rugged, durable, and are made to handle the rough condition and environment.
Recommendations to help you make the right choice for your needs: Cattle scales are an investment in good cattle management. Scales easily last 10-15+ years, so it's important to get the right setup that fits your current and planned needs. Whether you are just thinking about scales or are ready to purchase, you'll know you are getting advice based on our own personal experiences with scales for our cattle ranches and also experiences of helping other ranchers.
Specialized, expert advice: Livestock scales are technology, and there are several considerations to keep in mind, such as how to integrate weighing into your cattle production processes, permanent vs portable scales, and which indicator model is right for you. Many times, stores that offer a vast variety of animal supplies don't have the in-depth knowledge to really help you answer these questions. Here at CattleScales.com, cattle scales are our speciality!
