automatic cattle weighing and drafting crush
Product Overview The Automatic Weighing & Drafting Cattle Crush brings animal restraint, electronic weighing and controlled sorting into one cattle handling station. A compatible EID reader can identify each animal, while load bars capture its live weight. The control system then directs the animal to an assigned exit according to preset herd management rules. The modular arrangement can be planned for a new cattle yard or assessed for integration with an existing handling race.
Key Features
  • Combines individual identification, live weighing and automatic drafting in a repeatable workflow.
  • Powered entry and exit gates reduce repetitive manual gate operation.
  • Head restraint, adjustable body squeeze and access gates support inspection and treatment.
  • Drafting rules may use weight or compatible EID-linked animal records.
  • Manual control and operator override can be specified for exceptional animals or procedures.
  • Corrosion-resistant steel construction and accessible service points suit demanding livestock environments.
Structural Components
  • Crush frame and floor: Support the animal and provide a stable working compartment.
  • Entry gate, head bail and squeeze sides: Control animal movement and restraint.
  • Load bars and scale indicator: Measure and display individual live weight.
  • EID reader and detection sensors: Identify the animal and monitor its position when specified.
  • Controller and powered draft gates: Select and open the assigned exit route.
  • Side and veterinary access gates: Provide access for routine handling and animal health work.
Working Principle One animal enters the crush from the handling race. After the entry gate closes, the weighing system captures a stable live weight and the EID reader identifies the animal if fitted. The controller compares the available data with the selected drafting rules. Once the animal is released, the appropriate gate guides it into its designated lane. The operator can intervene through the specified manual controls when inspection or a different route is required.

Applications Suitable for beef farms, dairy operations, feedlots, breeding centers and centralized livestock handling facilities. Typical tasks include weight-based grouping, replacement animal selection, health checks, treatment recording and preparation of cattle for transfer or sale. On mixed-species agricultural projects, the cattle handling line should be designed separately from pig farm construction and pig movement areas.
Customization Options Drafting directions, exit-lane geometry, weighing indicator, EID interface, gate power system and operator controls are customizable according to project requirements. The crush can be coordinated with holding pens, cattle races, access platforms and adjacent steel structure building works after site dimensions and animal flow are reviewed.
Installation & Maintenance Set the crush and drafting modules on a level, structurally suitable base. Align the entry race and provide clear, separated exit lanes. Install load bars so surrounding gates and debris do not interfere with weighing; then connect and test the indicator, EID reader, sensors and gate controls. Before use, verify each drafting route and the manual override. Clean the floor and weighing area regularly, and inspect cables, gate pivots, actuators and safety controls under a scheduled maintenance plan.
Product FAQ

Can the system sort cattle by live weight?
Yes. A compatible scale and controller can use recorded weight as a drafting criterion.

Is EID required?
EID is useful for sorting by individual animal records; the required identification setup depends on the selected workflow.

Can it fit an existing cattle yard?
Potentially. The race alignment, available space, foundations, utilities and exit pens must be checked before a retrofit design is confirmed.

Can an operator take manual control?
Manual override can be included in the specified control package.
