What about using the tape method with the conversion chart? That works for me on the large or older goats, is quick and easy. For the newborns or young kids,we have an old platform scale(some farmers refer to them as "hog scales").We purchased ours at a farm sale,much cheaper than ever thinking of buying a new one,and with the type of weights ect. they are accurate even after years of use.
