The Tru Test JR5000 Built for Everyday Weighing Jobs
Good livestock decisions start with good data. By capturing accurate live weights and tracking changes over time, you can manage animals individually instead of relying on guesswork.
This indicator helps you clearly see how animals are performing between weighing sessions, making it easier to spot growth trends, identify issues early, and act with confidence while you are still in the yards.
Fast weight stabilisation means even restless animals can be weighed efficiently, keeping stock flowing and stress to a minimum.
Why farmers rely on the Tru Test JR5000
The Tru Test JR5000 is designed to make individual animal tracking simple. It allows you to record data against both Electronic ID tags and visual tags, giving you flexibility across different mobs and setups. Live weight gain is displayed directly on screen, so you can immediately see how each animal is tracking compared to the last weigh.
Built-in Bluetooth connectivity allows seamless pairing with Tru-Test EID readers, automatically transferring scanned IDs straight into the indicator. This reduces manual entry, saves time, and improves accuracy. Visual tag numbers can also be entered using the large, hard-wearing keypad when needed.
With access to Datamars Livestock cloud software included, your weighing sessions can be turned into clear, usable insights without extra complexity.
Built for everyday yard work with the TruTest JR5000
The JR5000 is made for real farm conditions. Its high-brightness 7-inch display remains easy to read in full sun or low-light environments, automatically adjusting between indoor and outdoor modes. Quick-access keys let you navigate screens and enter data without covering the display, even with dirty hands.
The tough IP67-rated housing protects against dust, water, and impact, while long battery life supports extended weighing sessions. Wireless and cable connectivity options allow the JR5000 to integrate smoothly with EID readers, auto drafters, and other livestock handling equipment.
Whether you are weighing regularly or drafting by weight, the JR5000 keeps the process efficient, accurate, and reliable.

Thanks kindly for your email updates, we collected our meter from the post office this morning and Warrik has been playing with it ever since, haha.
We will start baling hay properly tomorrow so the timing has worked out perfectly.
Thanks very much for all your help with this, it is much appreciated.

Makes farming tasks a breeze. The device is amazing, simplifying the process of stocktaking animals and checking NLIS tags. It even works well with Alta collars. Very satisfied with the service and product.
