Product Information

Full details

The Battles Weighing Sling (BAT-37507) is a purpose-built tool designed for farmers and livestock owners who need to weigh lambs accurately for routine health monitoring and growth tracking. By providing a secure, suspended environment, it ensures the animal remains calm during the weighing process, allowing for precise readings on hanging scales. While it offers excellent stability for lambs, users should note that its design is specifically tailored for young animals and may not be suitable for larger, adult sheep or other livestock.

FAQs

Can I use this for newborn lambs?

Yes, the sling is designed to support the size and weight of lambs during their growth stages.

Is the sling machine washable?

It is recommended to hand wash or hose down the sling with mild detergent to preserve the structural integrity of the fabric.

Does this include a scale?

No, the product is the weighing sling only. You will need to provide your own hanging scale.

How much weight can the sling support?

The sling is designed for the weight of lambs; however, always defer to the weight limit of the specific hanging scale you are using.

Is the material waterproof?

The material is chosen for durability in farm environments and is resistant to moisture, though it should be air-dried if it becomes saturated.

Troubleshooting

Animal appears restless during weighing

Ensure the lamb is positioned centrally in the sling to maintain balance and minimize movement.

Scale readout is fluctuating excessively

Wait for the animal to stabilize or use a scale with a 'hold' or 'average' function to lock in the weight.

Strap tension seems uneven

Adjust the suspension points on the hanging scale to ensure the sling hangs level.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Ensures accurate weight readings for healthy lamb development
Reduces stress for both the handler and the lamb
Compact and lightweight for easy transport between pens
Simplifies routine health management tasks

Cons

Limited to use with lambs, not suitable for mature sheep
Requires access to a compatible hanging scale
Not intended for long-term restraint of animals

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the system, attach the sling straps securely to the hook of your preferred hanging scale. Ensure the scale is suspended from a stable, load-bearing beam at a height that allows the lamb to hang clear of the ground.

Compatibility

Compatible with most standard mechanical or digital hanging scales.
Best suited for lambs; check your scale's maximum capacity to ensure it matches your specific herd's needs.

Care Instructions

Regularly inspect the fabric and straps for signs of wear or fraying.
Clean the sling with a mild disinfectant and allow it to air dry completely before storage to prevent mold or odors.
Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight when not in use to maintain material integrity.
