Gallagher HR4 Hand Held EID Tag Reader & Data Collector

The Gallagher HR4 Hand Held EID Tag Reader & Data Collector: Portable EID Scanning and Data Collection in One Tool

If you need a handheld EID reader that does more than just scan a tag number, the Gallagher HR4 is worth a close look. It combines portable EID scanning with pre-defined data recording, Bluetooth connectivity to your weigh scale and the Gallagher Animal Performance App, and on the go drafting capability, all in an ergonomic design built for a full day in the yards. Whether you're focused on compliance and traceability, tracking individual animal performance over time, or sorting a mob based on multiple criteria, the HR4 gives you the tools to do it from the palm of your hand.

Record More Than Just a Tag Number With the Gallagher HR4 Hand Held EID Tag Reader & Data Collector

Before starting a session you can pre-define up to three traits to record against each animal, things like breed, sex, condition score, pregnancy status, and more, linking that data directly to the EID tag number as you scan. That means you're building a meaningful record for each animal rather than just capturing a number and figuring out the rest later. Data is stored in the HR4's internal memory and can be synchronised wirelessly to your Gallagher Animal Performance account via Bluetooth, so you don't need to head back to the office to get your data where it needs to go.

Connect to Your Weigh Scale and Animal Performance App With the Gallagher HR4 Hand Held EID Tag Reader & Data Collector

Bluetooth connectivity links the HR4 directly to your weigh scale, pairing EID tag numbers with animal weights automatically so you can monitor performance data across an animal's lifetime without manual data entry slowing things down. Connect to the Gallagher Animal Performance App on your phone to send and receive draft lists and session data wirelessly, keeping your records up to date and accessible from anywhere on the property. It's a genuinely connected system that takes the admin burden out of livestock data management.

Draft and Sort on the Go

The HR4 lets you organise animals based on multiple criteria out in the field without needing to go back to a computer or a fixed setup. As you scan each animal the HR4 indicates the draft or sort group by name and colour so you can separate animals out accordingly on the spot. Combined with the fast and continuous EID reading mode, which reads multiple tags in quick succession with a single trigger click without needing to repeatedly press between reads, you can move through a mob efficiently without the process slowing you down.

Designed to Be Easy to Use All Day

The ergonomic design features a long reach snout with a rubber hand grip and hand guard for added safety, which makes a real difference when you're scanning hundreds of animals over a long session. The 2.8 inch backlit colour display is high resolution and easy to read both indoors and outdoors, clearly showing visual ID, EID tag numbers, and animal data without squinting or shading the screen. LED light, hand vibration, and a beeper all confirm every successful scan so you always know when a tag has been captured without having to watch the screen constantly.
