⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Emily Carter - Goat & Lamb Farm
"I’ve been using the SF-809 Base Model for my small goat farm since May 2024, and it’s been a game-changer. The stainless steel platform handles muddy hooves and frequent washdowns without a scratch. Weighing lambs is now quick and accurate thanks to the clear digital display and tare function. The 100g accuracy is more than sufficient for tracking growth and dosing meds."Purchase Date: May 2024 | Usage Period: 8 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dr. James Reed - Rural Animal Clinic
"We upgraded from an old analog scale to the SF-809 Advanced Model in October 2024, and the difference is night and day. The RS-232 connectivity lets us log weights directly into our patient records, saving time and reducing errors. The spring cable is genius—lets us position the display away from curious paws while keeping the platform stable. Calves and piglets are no match for its durability."Purchase Date: October 2024 | Usage Period: 5 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Marcus Lee - Mid-Sized Livestock Operation
"Purchased the Pro Model in February 2025 for our breeding hogs. The 50g precision and Wi-Fi sync to our herd management software have improved our monitoring significantly. We catch weight fluctuations early, which helps with health interventions. Setup took a bit longer than expected, and the Wi-Fi needs a strong barn signal, but once running, it’s flawless. Worth the investment for serious operations."Purchase Date: February 2025 | Usage Period: 3 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Olivia Bennett - Homestead Farmer
"As a homesteader with a few sheep and a donkey, I needed something sturdy but compact. The SF-809 Base Model arrived in December 2024 and fits perfectly in my barn corner. The tare function makes it easy to weigh feed before and after, and the kg/lbs toggle is great when sharing data with my vet. Cleaning is a breeze—just a quick wipe after use. No more guessing weights!"Purchase Date: December 2024 | Usage Period: 7 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Daniel Park - Goat Breeder & 4-H Advisor
"I bought the Advanced Model in August 2024 for our 4-H livestock program. It’s used weekly by kids and adults alike. The 300kg capacity handles even our largest boers, and the digital display is easy for young members to read. Only downside is the display unit isn’t backlit, so early morning barn use can be tricky on cloudy days. Otherwise, incredibly reliable and well-built."Purchase Date: August 2024 | Usage Period: 9 months

Dr. Amanda Hughes - Agricultural Equipment Consultant
"The SF-809 series stands out in the animal weighing market due to its industrial-grade stainless steel build and practical feature set. For small to medium operations, the Base Model offers exceptional value. Larger farms should consider the Pro Model—its 50g accuracy and IoT integration provide measurable ROI in health monitoring and data-driven management."
Dr. Thomas Greene - Veterinary Practice Efficiency Expert
"In clinic settings, efficiency and hygiene are critical. The SF-809’s non-porous stainless steel surface meets veterinary sanitation standards, and the tare and zero functions streamline patient workflows. I recommend it for mixed-animal practices needing a single, reliable scale for diverse species."
