The Auto Sorter is here!

We are now the proud owners of a new sheep auto sorter.  The Gov’t has a traceability program to help cover the cost of such equipment.  So with funding in had, we purchased this awesome weigh scale/auto sorter/computer/sheep record software system from Gallagher. (which means it’s ORANGE and black-much to sister’s disgust)

It automatically opens and closes to allow the sheep on and off, reads their RFID tag so it knows who they are, weighs them, and then sorts and records them according to preset conditions.  In short-it makes life a little easier and provides a whole lot of data for tracking sheep!

All spectators accepted! (as long as you have clean boots!)
