Elias Scale Manufacturing

John Miech

Hello, I am writing a review of ESM. We purchased a livestock scale from them to be used in a cow calf operation. We set the scale up in our alley way to weigh cattle in front of our chute. The scale fluctuated weight differences from one end to the other, as much as 50 pounds on a 550 to 600 pound calf. I called ESM to see if I was needing to do something different than I had. They told me that it was a simple scale and nothing could be wrong. That did not solve my problem. I removed the scale from the alley way and put some sides onto it to try and make it cradle round bales, hoping that weighing hay might work. I thought the cattle movement might be causing issues. The hay thing didn't work either. I would put a bale onto the scale and get a reading, take it off and put it back on and get a completely different reading, sometimes a 100 pound difference. I now think that I have been scammed out of two thousand dollars plus by a Canadian fella that I put my trust into. John
