With a reputation for building and delivering high quality rural products made from heavy-duty materials, Norton’s premium livestock handling products  along with their high performing animal performance and  traceability range, have been integrated with Gallagher.

Norton by Gallagher is a huge win for farmers, turning livestock collection points into data collection points and giving farmers the capability to capture and manage animal data, saving  time and money.  

Key benefits from adding data collection capabilities to a cattle crush include:

  • easier health monitoring and management
  • simpler individual animal identification
  • performance tracking of metrics including feed consumption and growth rates
  • automatic data entry and efficiency of information collecting (no more paper trails!) 

Norton by Gallagher is presenting a new range of cattle crushes, designed to easily attach to weighing and EID equipment, to create a safe and easy on farm easy data collection point. 

The crushes come with an inbuilt floor, weigh scale arm and bracket for an EID antenna, making them perfect for both the data-conscious farmer who wants to level up their cattle data collection, along with the entry-level farmer looking to scan and weigh animals for the first time.

The Weigh-Ready Connected Crush bundle includes a Norton by Gallagher cattle crush, Gallagher Load Bars, Gallagher TWR Weigh Scale, and the Tag Reader Antenna Panel, creating a unique retail opportunity to sell Gallagher equipment with Norton cattle crushes in one single solution.
