[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 628484, member: 2308"] I just move the weigh bars from my large animal scale into the barn, put a smaller platform (piece of plywood) on it and weigh them that way. No lifting, just shove the calf on there, and it takes about 5 seconds to get a weight unless they are really jumping around. With the digital readout, it only takes a few seconds. We were using a small beam scale, with a box built onto it. It worked well, but not nearly as quick as my new scale. Took time to move the weights around and was a lot more difficult with a moving calf. [/QUOTE]
