Procedure for weighing and sorting animals by Sort
List
This section of the manual outlines the procedure to follow to weigh animals and
sort them by list. You can also enter a note or condition score for each animal.
1. Select the weighing mode that you want to use by turning the mode select
switch to A (Automatic) if loadbars are connected or M (Manual) if you are
not weighing.
When the Scale is switched on, the previous weighing session will still be the
current session. See Selecting the Sort List and setting gates (p 65).
2. If required, you can enter an ear tag prefix for the animals being weighed.
See Setting the tag prefix (p 46) for further details.
3. Check that the icon is displayed. If it is not displayed, press the blue
"zero" button to zero off any weight (e.g. dirt or manure) left on the
platform.
4. Load the animal onto the platform. Ensure the animal is contained on the
platform (e.g. no hooves off the platform and no one holding the animal).
5. Scan the animal's Electronic ID.
The Electronic ID can be scanned at any time before or while the animal is on
the platform.
If you are using Electronic ID numbers only, the last 4 digits of the tag
number preceded by a colon (:) displays on screen.
If you entered a Visual Tag Number the first time the Electronic ID was
scanned, the Visual Tag Number displays on screen.
If this is the first time you have scanned the Electronic ID and you want to
enter an associated Visual Tag Number, you can enter it now. In future, each
time you scan the Electronic ID, the associated Visual Tag Number will
display on screen.
6. As soon as the Electronic ID has been read:

the gate number displays next to the weight (upper screen).

the date and any note or trait entered the last time the animal was
weighed is displayed on the screen.
7. If you want to view the most recent trait record, recorded for this animal in
more detail, press the key. When this key is released, the display
will revert to the previous screen.
