ALL NEW FY25 UPGRADES!

The BreedELITE auto drafter is better than ever!
It's faster (up to 600/hr at nearest kg accuracy)
It's more accurate (200g instead of 2kg at 450/hr)
It's stress free (no watching the entry gate anymore)
It’s multiuse (easy to remove scales for weighing in classing crates or other areas on the farm)
It's cleaner (a lot less cords and no chewed cables)
It's upgradeable (new additions coming in the future like our lead up module!)
The BreedELITE smart drafter is for people serious about weighing and who pride themselves on accuracy and saving labour.
Let’s Start with a Quick Chat
10mins will have all of your questions answered

We listened to feedback on the old drafter, that was:

  • Weighing is too slow (only 300-400/hr)
  • Accuracy is not there (nearest 2kg)
  • Sheep only half-in weigh incorrectly or second sheep stuck in gates gets through with the first one‍
  • Have to use the remote too much to pause‍
  • Too many cords hanging off the side of the drafter get chewed
  • Iconix scalehead in the road‍
  • Drafter too loud‍
  • Computer holder too flimsy
  • Can’t use the load bars elsewhere on farm
  • Hard to clean under the floor
  • Can’t access the sheep with the anti-jump bars on
  • Sheep keep breaking the sensor clips as they are too flimsy and it stops the drafter functioning or causes intermittent faults

And this is that we've changed:

Entry Gate Sensors – No More Stuck Sheep Affecting Weights or needing to rely on the remote all the time
BreedELITE Scales – Faster by hundreds per hour, More Accurate Weighing from kilograms to grams with our BreedELITE Load Cells instead of using standard 'Cattle Rated' scales
Drafter Silencers – Reduce Noise, Increase Lifetime Of Actuators
Tablet Holder – Keep Your Computer Safe And Increase Ergonomics
Sensor Clips - Simple and effective addition to drafter durability
No cords hanging off the side that sheep can chew
No 3rd party scalehead hanging off the side to be whacked or get in the road
Removable weigh floor that comes out in <60 seconds to be used elsewhere on farm or for cleaning
Redesigned anti-jump rails stop the sheep jumping while still allowing you to push them up

Now people are saying:

  • “These are are a game changer, I think I’m actually kind of excited to weigh weaners now”
  • “I can cut a person from the yards”
  • “I probably don’t need a new remote as these sensors will stop me needing to press it all the time”
  • “Finally! What a great addition to the drafter”
  • “Looking forward to not having to stand at the crate all the time, with these I reckon I’ll actually be sitting back having a beer like your video”
  • “That is brilliantly over-engineered, I love it”
  • “I'd love having that out of the road, good idea”
  • “I feel much better having the computer away from the side, that’s a lot of money to be in the firing line so it’s good to get it up and out of the way”
  • “Wow that’s quick now!”
  • “I'm actually surprised, that's quicker than my Prattley drafter"
  • “Because there is less time being weighed the sheep are flowing heaps better”
  • “This puts you guys right in the mix with competing against TruTest”
  • “That's well done”
  • “I thought it was quiet before that’s a whole new level”
  • “I reckon the sheep run better as there isn’t a hiss in front of them when they are exiting"
  • “That makes those exit gates not bang as much which is good”
  • “Bloody hell those sensors are solid now”
  • “So I can use the platform anywhere? That’s cool”

The BreedELITE Sheep System

Feeling stuck with Sheep EID Technology? There is a way forward…

These are the two common stories we hear from Sheep Farmers all over Australia and it is why we created the BreedELITE Sheep System.

Stage 1

I'm unsure of the first step with EID and tech and don’t know how to piece it all together. I haven't really started yet.

Stage 2

My current technology is holding me back. I know I can be doing A LOT better.
No matter which stage you are in, BreedELITE can help you take the next step with ease and confidence. 55% of our new clients are starting having never put EIDs in before, and 45% of new clients are switching from an existing, clunky system. 50% of our clients are studs and 50% are commercial breeders or lamb producers.

We have many different components and many different starting points to tailor a system to meet your exact needs both now and into the future

Have a look at the components below:

"One person can run them through the drafter, and the job’s done. We’re being more productive and it’s getting easier. We haven’t wasted our time or money, and what we’re doing is working - the quality of our flock is improving, we’re classing harder and have better sheep coming through."

Hayden Price
Commercial Sheep Farmer, Victoria

"Before BreedELITE came into our lives we were a very disorganised farm. It was not something I was enjoying doing, it was very frustrating and we needed to be more profitable. Now there’s no stress, none of that traditional yelling or screaming at each other in the yards! Everyone’s relaxed and quiet and the sheep just flow. This has taken the stress out of everything and everybody - it’s been invaluable."

Kerry Bammann
Bundilla Prime Lamb, South Australia

"BreedELITE stood out to us as the only system where all elements were streamlined - from the software, to the stick reader, the fleece weigh system and the smart drafter."

Aaron Watson
Commercial Merino Breeder, South Australia

"We've gone from what was a 3-person job in the sheep yards to an easy 1-person operation. It’s saving us a lot of time and therefore money, and eliminating the human error from the system. So in terms of labour cost savings it’s been huge for us."

Dion Woolford
Karawatha Park, South Australia

"BreedELITE has increased our efficiency out of sight, which in turn increases our profitability. The future is going to be a lot more profitable as a result. We’ve achieved much greater heights in one generation of sheep than what we thought was possible.

Our ROI is really up there and it feels great."

Cameron England
Lyndall Park, South Australia
