Built for Operators · Powered by Bleeding Edge AI

Know and track every weight.
Without the scale.

GateWeight turns your iPhone into a precision cattle scale. Scan an animal in seconds — get its weight, track it over time, and price it against local auction data. No rope, no scale, no stress.

The problem

Every weight you don't measure is money on the table.

Cattle are priced by the pound — but most are never weighed individually. The industry runs on guesswork and trips to the scale that cost time, shrink, and stress.

±15%

The eyeball gap

Experienced ranchers estimate cattle weight by eye — and are off by as much as 15%. On a 500-head pen at $1.80/lb, that's over $200,000 in pricing variance.

3–7%

Shrink from the haul

Hauling cattle to a scale costs 3–7% of their live weight in shrink — before you add the diesel, the labor, and the stress that shows up on the grading sheet.

How it works

Scan. Estimate. Track.

Three taps. One minute per animal. No special hardware beyond the iPhone you already own.

1

Scan

Point your iPhone. LiDAR captures the animal's volume in real time, with live coverage feedback — blue for mapped, green for minimum, yellow for optimal accuracy.

2

Estimate

Our ML model, trained on thousands of scale-validated scans across breed types, converts volume to weight in under a second.

3

Track

Every weight is logged by ear tag, synced to your herd. Watch gains in real time.

Features

Everything you need, nothing you don't.

Designed from the chute up for working conditions — outdoor light, gloved hands, no reception.

Visual coverage guides

Color-coded mapping feedback tells you exactly where you've captured enough data and where to keep scanning.

Herd management

Every scan logged by ear tag. Filter by pasture, group, birth year, or sire. Export to CSV or pair with your existing herd software.

Offline-first

Scan all day in the pasture with no bars. Syncs when you get back to WiFi or a signal. Field-ready, not internet-dependent.

Breed recognition

Automatic breed and crossbreed detection improves estimate accuracy with every scan, learning your herd as you work it.

The science

Calibrated against the scale, not the guess.

Our models are validated against certified livestock scales, not other estimates.

Who it's for

One tool, built for every link in the chain.

Cow-calf operators

Weigh calves at branding, weaning, and sale day without a scale in sight. Track ADG on your replacement heifers. Know what every calf is worth the day it comes off its mama.

  • Weaning weights
  • Replacement heifer tracking
  • Sale-day pricing
  • BCS pair-ups

I built GateWeight because I was tired of guessing what an animal weighed.
