As any farmer knows, pig weights can fluctuate wildly if the animal is not carefully monitored and fed. Accurate weight measurements are essential to the administration of feed, nutritional supplements, and medications. Plus, an accurate reading of weight gives you an idea of the direction you’re heading before you get the animal to market. There is a narrow window considered ideal to sell the animal at the greatest profit, so it’s essential that you know beforehand what to expect. You must also ensure that you are budgeting appropriately for feed and medical care of your herd.

However good you or your staff is at guessing pig weight, you can never be sure of the weight of each individual animal without a good scale.
