WITH A PROUD HISTORY SPANNING three decades Shearwell Data specialises in designing and manufacturing animal identification and management systems.
It also provides technical advice and support farmers can rely on.
“We are experts in animal identification, both visual and electronic,” company director Richard Webber says.
“The key to capturing individual data electronically is to have a reliable EID device. Our products are trialled on farms, including our own, so farmers can be assured of the quality, reliability and ease of use.”
The Shearwell SET tag has been shown in trials to have an industry-leading retention rate (99.5%). Shearwell aims to provide customers with the best products and services available. EID provides livestock farmers with an in-depth knowledge of an animal’s health and performance, enabling them to make informed decisions, whether for finishing or breeding purposes. It is also used increasingly by both pedigree and commercial sheep and cattle farmers around the world.
This same level of research, design and product development is also evident in other Shearwell products, including applicators, stick and panel readers, the ShearWeigh weigh head and load bars.
The recent launch of the TurbOTagger, designed to work with the market-leading SET tags, is the future of high-welfare, high-throughput tagging. The TurbO Tagger’s accuracy and ease of use minimises the stress on the animals and farmer.
Shearwell Data recently acquired the Pyon Products business. The Pyon heatwave milk warmer uses heat exchange technology to heat milk on demand and can feed up to 30 calves or 50 lambs/goat kids with one unit. Easy to set up and cost effective, calves, lambs and kids perform extremely well on the system.
