You can do it the hard way...
or the Gallagher way
Brilliantly simple solutions that make farm life easier
and more profitable – it’s what Gallagher does best.
Farm fit guaranteed
All Gallagher products have to overcome the
challenges of everyday farming before they even
leave the factory. This TSi 2 is undergoing one, of a
number of rigorous environmental stress tests, to
check it can handle the toughest conditions.
Farming may be the
‘good life’ but it’s
certainly not easy..
Being a farmer himself, Bill Gallagher
Snr understood the challenges of farm
life and wanted to make it simpler.
Inventing NZ’s first electric fence in the
30’s, did just that. 75 years on, we’re in
it for the long haul - still getting stuck in
alongside farmers to make the hard job
of farming easier.

works together to fully automate animal management and handling tasks saving time and money.
Why Weigh?
Why use EID?
• Select animals by weight for sale and slaughter
• Quick, easy and accurate EID and/or animal data capture
Yard management
Stock value improvement
• Meet processing key weights for premium prices
• Read and transfer animal ID’s for NAIT compliance
• Evaluate breeding performance for genetic selection
• Link lambs/calves to mothers
• Identify the poor performers - treat, allocate to
different feeding group or quit early
• Measure and record weaning weights
• Record visual ID numbers against EID’s in the yard
• Reduced time & effort - equipment reads fast and
efficiently, automatically matching weight to animal
ID number
• Manage animal weights prior to mating for better
reproduction rates
• Add and edit data such as condition scores and animal
notes
• Measure feed conversion to maximise yield by
monitoring weight gain over time
• Sort animals into groups based on EID number

Electronic Identification (EID) Tag Readers
An EID tag reader is a critical part of an EID system. The reader
captures the unique tag number of individual animals as they are
weighed, treated, or identified in a yard or race.
Gallagher portable hand held EID tag readers are lightweight,
hardwearing and easy to use - perfect for on the go use at different
sites – animal data can be can be read, recorded, and collected
anywhere on the farm.
Gallagher permanent EID tag readers comprise an antenna panel
and moveable electronic controller. The readers are fixed in place,
usually on a weighing crate or at a location in a race, for hands free,
automated reading of EID tags.

I’ve been able to cut the labour used to weigh
and draft sheep in half. When I used my old
drafter it took two of us to put the sheep
through. Now I can draft by myself and my
worker is free to do other jobs around the farm”.

controlled by one operator.

lambs to the largest rams.
