McErlean’s Farm

Magherafelt

Damien has the Agrident APR600 handheld reader and a panel reader attached to his weigh crate.

Their farm consists of 450 breeding ewes all lambed inside. Damien states, “The readers are fantastic especially around lambing time. I am able to quickly record all the relevant information of the lambs using the handheld reader. The panel reader fitted to the weigh bridge is great for high speed weighing. We are then able to see how each lamb is performing. The whole system allows me to quickly identify which lambs have problems so that I can draft them out and get them sorted quickly. George at TGM couldn’t be more helpful, nothing was a bother to him and explained how to set my system up very thoroughly.”
