Just wondering what is a good brand of digital scales to buy. Also how high of a weight do they go to. Where's the best place to order one. Thanks for any help.

I weigh my dogs by picking them up, stepping on the house scales, stepping off, weigh myself and subtract the first weight from my weight and it tells the dogs weight. Iv also used livestock scales, same principle as the balance scale for humans at the dr office, only set up for pigs, sherp goats n other small livestock

I thought about the deal your talking about with the bathroom scales and then deducting the weight but bathroom scales barely weigh me much less both of us. Lol

I use true test. They are exspensive but well worth it if you weigh lots of hogs. There are a lot of cheap scales out there that won't hold up. Paul also makes a decent we.

Go to google and type in pallet scales. I bought some pretty nice scales for around $350 with free shipping. They weigh up to 660 pounds. I use em to weigh hogs

Can they be recalibrated to show zero if a corral or shoot has been placed atop of it? |
