If you're after the most capable handheld EID reader and data collection platform available, the Gallagher HR5 is it. Where most handheld readers ask you to set everything up in the office before you head out, the HR5 lets you record, edit, and customise data against EID records right there in the yard without any pre-session setup required. A large colour screen and alphanumeric keypad make it practical to capture high value data on the spot, and with up to 9 customisable traits per animal, Bluetooth connectivity to your weigh scale and the Gallagher Animal Performance App, and features like mother and offspring linking and on the spot digital notes, this is a serious data collection tool for farmers who want to get more out of every scan.

The standout difference between the HR5 and simpler handheld readers is the flexibility it gives you in the field. You can choose up to 9 custom traits to record against each animal, things like breed, sex, condition score, pregnancy status, and more, and you can add and edit that data immediately without needing to go back to the office first. Visual ID numbers can be added on the go and used to identify and record information against an animal, which is particularly useful when you need to replace a lost EID tag number without losing the animal's history. Session names can also be customised directly on the device, making it easy to identify and organise sessions once they're uploaded to your Animal Performance account.
Bluetooth connectivity links the HR5 directly to your weigh scale, pairing EID tag numbers with animal weights automatically so you can build a complete picture of individual animal performance over time. Connect to the Gallagher Animal Performance App to send and receive draft lists and session data wirelessly, keeping your records current without a trip back to the office. Data is stored in the HR5's internal memory and synchronises to your Animal Performance account via the app, so nothing gets lost between the yards and your records.
The HR5 includes a few features that set it apart from other handheld readers in a practical, everyday sense. On the spot digital notes let you record observations against individual animals for later review, and you can set alerts to appear when that animal is next weighed or scanned so important information doesn't get forgotten. The mother and offspring linking feature automatically connects mothers with their offspring and lets you add birthing details and data including sex, birthing ease, and fate, which is genuinely useful for operations focused on genetic traceability and breeding records.
The fast and continuous EID reading mode captures multiple tags in quick succession with a single trigger click without needing to press between reads, which keeps things moving when you're scanning a large mob. The ergonomic design features a long reach snout with a rubber hand grip and hand guard for added safety, making it comfortable to use over a long session. The 2.8 inch backlit colour display is high resolution and easy to read both indoors and outdoors, and LED light, hand vibration, and a beeper all confirm every successful scan so you always know when a tag has been captured.
