Automatic Weighing and Sorting System
As the animal walks through the lane, its tag is read, its weight is measured, and it's routed to the right pen — all in one pass, hands-free.

Leave Manual Weighing and Sorting Behind
Catching, weighing, and then sorting animals by hand based on weight or gender takes time and is physically exhausting as your flock grows. The Sheepal Automatic Weighing and Sorting System fully automates this process. As your flock walks through the lane as usual, the system reads each animal's electronic tag, measures its precise weight, and automatically directs the sorting gate based on the criteria you've defined. You simply check the results in your Sheepal dashboard — no manual data entry required.
How Does It Work?
A fully automatic 4-step process once installed
Walk Through the Lane
The flock passes through the lane single-file as part of the daily routine — no extra handling needed.
Automatic Tag Reading
The 134.2kHz electronic tag is instantly recognized by the device, identifying the animal.
Precise Weighing
The weight is measured precisely on the platform at the same time the tag is read, and recorded.
Automatic Routing
Based on the criteria you defined (weight range, gender, group), the gate opens automatically and the animal moves to the right pen.

Every Measurement Syncs to Sheepal Instantly
Every animal that passes through the device has its tag number, weight, and timestamp automatically recorded on its animal card in your Sheepal portal. No manual data entry, no paper notes. With regular weighing, each animal's growth curve, average daily gain (ADG), and progress relative to birth weight are automatically calculated and reported.
Automatic Weight History
Every pass is a record — a regular weighing history builds itself, without manual entry

Who Is It For?
As flock size grows, manual weighing and sorting becomes unsustainable in terms of both time and labor. The Automatic Weighing and Sorting System is designed especially for operations that need:
Medium and large farms that perform bulk weighing at regular intervals
Operations that group lambs by weight for weaning, before sale, or before marketing
Farms that sort by gender or group before vaccination or treatment
Any farm looking to cut manual labor cost and increase data accuracy
