[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 352248, member: 2308"] Here are my results so far using the scale, and then the hoof tape. Actual weight on the scale is first (hoof tape in brackets) with the weight difference behind. Bull - 46 (55) +11 lbs Heifer - 101 (90) -11 lbs Heifer - 90(89) +/-1 lb Heifer - 91(80) -11 lbs Heifer - 106(114) +8 lbs Bull - 54(65) +11 lbs Heifer - 87(88) +/-1 lb Bull - 66(77) +11 lbs Bull - 93(100) +7 lbs [b]Bull - 70 (88) +18 lbs[/b] Heifer - 66(67) +/-1lb Heifer - 80(79) +/-1 lb [b]Heifer - 106(93) -13 lbs[/b] The ones that are within a pound or 2 I would call accurate, but the worst one is off by 18 lbs, with another off by 13 lbs. Don't have much faith in the thing. [/QUOTE]
