Cattle operators use cake feeders to deliver protein, energy and mineral supplements. This kit weighs the cake as it goes out, so you know exactly what each pasture or group received instead of guessing by the sack or the pound.
It suits range cattle, stockers and cows on winter pasture.
What's in the kit
- 4 mounting brackets
- 4 mounting spacers
- 4 shear beam weigh bars
- 1 spring-loaded junction box
- 1 Ti-500 digital indicator
The kit includes everything needed for setup. Most producers have it running in a short afternoon.
Ti-500 indicator
- Quick setup calibration, so you are weighing accurately right away
- Runs from your truck's cigarette lighter or on 4 AA batteries
- Large display that mounts where you can read it from the cab while you feed
How it works
The four weigh bars and brackets mount beneath the cake feeder body and connect through the junction box to the Ti-500. Once it is calibrated, you get a weight every time you load or unload cake.
The shear beam load cells and heavy-duty mounting hardware are built for the vibration, dust, moisture and constant movement of a feed truck or trailer.
What the numbers let you do
- Track feed costs per head or per pasture
- Adjust rations based on actual consumption
- Reduce waste and overfeeding
- Keep your supplement program consistent
