[QUOTE="M-5, post: 1307605, member: 23550"] I won a door prize at our corp meeting last week and it was a handheld fish scale. It goes up to 110#. I had a calf born fri night and had the brite idea that that could be used to weigh the calf. I went in the house and found and old cheap duffle bag about 22" long and 2 handles . I split the ends down to the bottom to make a sling. I just zero the scale with the bag attached and slip the sling around the calf and pick up buy the scale. It worked perfect . if you raise bucket head calves that weigh over 110# you can add weight to the bag to get you a tare weight and then weigh the calf. here is the scale I have . they cost about 10 bucks at amazon. I thought I had a brilliant idea only to find out you can buy this exact scale and a fancy sling at Jeffers for about 50 bucks. Oh well day late and a dollar short.
