Outdoor Solar Panel Kit for Beef Monitor

Description

The Solar Panel Kit alongside the Ritchie Beef Monitor crate allows cattle to be weighed multiple times a day without the use of labour and without moving cattle from their location. A huge reduction in stress for both stockman and stock.

When paired with a compatible battery* the Solar Panel Kit allows the Ritchie Beef Monitor (BM3000) to be used in the field or any location without mains power. The solar panel recharges the battery to ensure a consistent and reliable power supply.

After installing the Solar Panel Kit and Ritchie Beef Monitor unit in a finishing pen of up to 50 head, the cattle access the water trough by stepping on the weighing platform. Using EID ear tags an accurate weight of each beast can be recorded and sent to the cloud every time they go to water. This enables beef finishing units to closely monitor the growth rate of their cattle.

Average daily weights and average daily live weight gains are recorded and calculated for you using the website and handy app, suitable for smart phone or laptop, enabling the stockman to determine how the stock are performing at a glance.
