When will CattleWeight AI be available?

We're launching our beta app at the end of 2025. Early access members and partners will be the first to receive invitations.

How accurate is CattleWeight AI?

CattleWeight AI achieves ±3% accuracy on average, which is comparable to professional livestock scales in field conditions.

What devices are compatible?

Currently, CattleWeight AI requires an iPhone or iPad with a LiDAR sensor (iPhone 12 Pro and newer Pro models, iPad Pro 2020 and newer).

Does it work offline?

Yes! You can scan cattle without an internet connection. All data is stored locally on your device and syncs to the cloud when you're back online.

How long does a scan take?

A typical scan takes 10-15 seconds. You simply walk around the animal in a 180° arc while the app captures LiDAR data.

About Body Condition Scoring

Understanding BCS and its importance

What is Body Condition Score?

Body Condition Score (BCS) is a systematic method to evaluate the amount of fat cover on an animal's body. It provides a standardized assessment of energy reserves regardless of the animal's size or breed.

Why BCS Matters

• Reproduction: Optimal BCS improves conception rates by 15-20%
• Health: Indicates nutritional status and disease resistance
• Performance: Affects athletic ability and productivity
• Profitability: Prevents costly over or under-feeding

The BCS Scale (1-9)

1-3: Thin - Bones visible, minimal fat

4: Borderline - Some fat cover beginning

5-6: Optimal - Ideal for most purposes

7: Fleshy - Significant fat cover

8-9: Obese - Excessive fat deposits

Pro Tip: Take photos from multiple angles (side, rear, and above if possible) for the most accurate assessment.

BCS Reference Guide

Quick reference for visual body condition assessment

BCS 1-3: Thin

Visual: Ribs, spine, hip bones visible

Touch: No fat cover, bones easily felt

Action: Increase nutrition immediately

Target for: None - health risk

BCS 5-6: Optimal

Visual: Smooth appearance, no ribs visible

Touch: Ribs felt with firm pressure

Action: Maintain current program

Target for: Breeding, production, market

BCS 8-9: Obese

Visual: Very smooth, rounded, fat deposits

Touch: Cannot feel ribs, heavy fat

Action: Reduce energy intake

Target for: None - health risk

Key Body Condition Assessment Areas

For Cattle:

• Tailhead (between pins and tailhead)
• Ribs (12th and 13th rib area)
• Loin area (along the back)
• Hooks and pins (hip bones)
• Brisket and dewlap

For Horses:

• Neck and crest thickness
• Withers prominence
• Shoulder definition
• Ribs (along the sides)
• Loin and back (top line)
• Tailhead fat deposits
