Medium Livestock Scale/Farm Animal Weighing Equipment, Capacity 2000 x 0.2 lb for Sheep, Goat, Alpaca, Pig, etc. Platform 50"x25"

I ordered this scale to weigh my sheep and goats so I could dispense medicine, vaccinations, etc. The wide black scale was great for the rams because they are large, but it's indicator (which was not pictured) does not have the Peak Hold Feature that I need. It was rechargeable and that works for a lot of people. If other people had been available to record the weight as the animals went by, there would not be an issue. Weighing them by myself, it was a big problem. The company authorized a return within minutes of my request, but I was hoping to just get the indicator replaced with one that had the Peak Hold feature and not have to return the whole thing. It was big and it was heavy, and the delivery company had lost a lot of the packaging (the outer box and styrofoam) and returning it was going to mean more work for me. The representative from the company, Sandra, was extremely polite and took the time to talk to me to find out what exactly I wasn't happy with. She made some inquiries on her end and sent me a different scale with an indicator that had the Peak Hold Feature. The gray scale for that indicator (which is in the picture) is more narrow and longer than the black scale. The animals didn't seem to have a problem with that. The indicator (which is not rechargeable) recorded and held each animal's weight until I had finished its exam and needed the weight to administer medicines. I cleared the numbers before I brought in the next animal and no matter how much the animal moved around, it still captured the weight for me and held it until I needed it. I don't have to worry about how much charge the batteries have left like in the rechargeable one. I just have extra batteries handy for when they will be needed. I haven't had to replace them, yet. The company had someone pick up the scale, so I didn't have to worry about finding packing material for it or getting it to the UPS store. The scales and indicators are not interchangeable, so details matter. I strongly suggest that you message the company before you place the final order to make sure you are getting the right scale for your needs. I am happy with mine and recommend it to others.

It's a tank! Be prepared for a heavy duty scale. This thing is build for way more weight than it's rated for. You'll need two people to move it around unless you're on concrete and use the side wheels.

We open the box today and were extremely disappointed There are only 3 feet The rollers are present with nothing to attach them The electronics were present with no packing material no protection I have most of a piece of a piece of equipment which is useless in its present state
