Abstract

A weigh head apparatus (102) for cooperation with a data processing unit for use in livestock weighing. The weigh head apparatus is inexpensive, easy to upgrade and has low maintenance costs. The weight head apparatus has: a signal converting module (106) operable to convert one or more analogue load signal into a plurality of digital load values; and a data transmitting module (108) operable to transmit a stream of the digital load values over a wireless connection to the data processing unit. The stream is a real-time stream and the digital load values are raw instantaneous analogue-to-digital converter output values. A command receiving module (109) is configured to receive a transmit-stream command from the data processing unit, wherein the data transmitting module (108) is operable to transmit the stream of the digital load values in response to the received transmit-stream command.
