You can do it the hard way... or the Gallagher way Brilliantly simple solutions that make farm life easier and more profitable – it’s what Gallagher does best.
Farm fit guaranteed All Gallagher products have to overcome the challenges of everyday farming before they even leave the factory. This TSi 2 is undergoing one of a number of rigorous environmental stress tests to check it can handle the toughest conditions.
Farming may be the ‘good life’ but it’s certainly not easy.. Being a farmer himself, Bill Gallagher Snr understood the challenges of farm life and wanted to make it simpler. Inventing NZ’s first electric fence in the 30’s, did just that. 75 years on, we’re in it for the long haul - still getting stuck in alongside farmers to make the hard job of farming easier.

Weigh Only System
EID Only System
Weighing and EID System
An easy to use, yet powerful system that accurately measures animal weight so that farmers can track performance.
The quick and easy way to comply with NAIT traceability legislation, and to collect animal data anywhere on farm.
The best option for farmers looking to manage their business more profitably. An advanced system that works together to fully automate animal management and handling tasks saving time and money.
Why Weigh?
Why use EID?
• Select animals by weight for sale and slaughter
• Quick, easy and accurate EID and/or animal data capture
Yard management
Stock value improvement
• Meet key processing weights for premium prices
• Read and transfer animal ID’s for NAIT compliance
• Evaluate breeding performance for genetic selection
• Link lambs/calves to mothers
• Identify the poor performers - treat, allocate to different feeding group or quit early
• Measure and record weaning weights
• Record visual ID numbers against EID’s in the yard
• Reduced time & effort - equipment reads fast and efficiently, automatically matching weight to animal ID number
• Manage animal weights prior to mating for better reproduction rates
• Add and edit data such as condition scores and animal notes
• Measure feed conversion to maximise yield by monitoring weight gain over time
• Sort animals into groups based on EID number
• Monitor animal health.
Why Weigh with EID?
• Validate stock reconciliation and stock on hand.
• Improved accuracy - remove human error and prevent incomplete or inaccurate records • Improved access to animal information - see full weight history for actual animal in the handler
• Accurate drenching levels - maximise treatment efficiency and minimise treatment costs • Meet the market required weight range - accurate selection of animals based on weight to maximise profit.
• Immediate display of weight gain performance • Automatic drafting by weight or EID
