Katouigb Sullivan's Calf Scale Tape – Quick Birth Weights for Calves

Fast, practical birth weight readings for newborn calves

The Katouigb Sullivan's Calf Scale Tape is crafted for busy beef operations that benefit from immediate, on-site weight data. By wrapping around the coronary band of the front hoof, this single instrument delivers two key measurements at a glance: the circumference in centimeters and the birth weight in pounds on the built-in scale. The dual-sided readout simplifies field checks, with bulls on one side and heifers on the other, so you can stay organized as calves arrive.

Designed for use within 24 hours after birth, this tape offers a practical way to capture early data in real-time, helping your team plan care, nutrition, and herd management with more confidence. The tool is compact, lightweight, and made with US-sourced fabric, making it a local, straightforward addition to your calving kit.

How it works

• Wrap the tape around the front hoof’s coronary band and tighten just enough for a secure reading.
• Read the circumference in centimeters and the birth weight in pounds from the scale on the tape.
• Switch to the bulls or heifers side to ensure you’re reading the correct set of numbers.
• Perform readings as part of your routine calving checks, ideally within 24 hours of birth.

Key field benefits

• Two-in-one instrument saves space and time with separate bull and heifer scales.
• Quicker weight estimates can support on-farm decisions about calf management and record-keeping.
• Durable construction with US-origin fabric designed for routine barn use and occasional exposure to moisture and dust.
• Simple, intuitive readings reduce the need for specialized equipment or lengthy setup.

Note: Weight readings are estimates influenced by hour of age and changes in calf body condition. Use the results as data points within your broader herd management plan. This tool is designed to provide fast, practical information to support decision-making rather than a precise measurement in every case.

In short, Katouigb Sullivan's Calf Scale Tape blends practicality with purpose, helping you log early-life weight data quickly and reliably. Made in the USA, it is ready for the challenges of a busy calving season and the routine of everyday herd management.
