Portable Piggy Weight Scale
![]() |
"Until now, hog producers have had to weigh small pigs in bunches and settle for "average" weight. But averages can be deceiving," says Don Meiners, manufacturer-marketer who cites the parable of the man standing with one foot on an ice chunk and the other in a pail of boiling water. "On the average, he's comfortable."
Meiners' new digital scale weighs up to 50 lbs. in 1/10th/lb. increments. It comes with two vertical V-shaped leg holders to fit all size pigs from birth through 50 lbs.
Made in the U.S. of high density plastic, it's moisture-proof and sells for $195.
