The Gallagher HR5 Hand Held EID Tag Reader & Data Collector is the ultimate portable tool for livestock identification and performance management. Designed for farmers who demand efficiency and accuracy, the HR5 allows you to scan, record, edit, and organize data directly in the yard without the need for pre-defined sessions.

Its large 2.8” full-color display and alphanumeric keypad make data collection easy and user-friendly. Unlike basic EID readers, the HR5 goes beyond just recording tag numbers—it allows you to record up to nine custom traits for each animal, such as sex, condition score, pregnancy status, and breed.

With Bluetooth connectivity, the HR5 seamlessly pairs with Gallagher weigh scales and the Animal Performance mobile app, ensuring all EID and performance data is synchronized in real time. Farmers can send and receive draft lists, link mothers to offspring for genetic traceability, and even add visual ID numbers on the spot.

The HR5 also features continuous EID reading mode, allowing multiple tags to be scanned quickly with a single trigger press. A combination of LED light, vibration, and beeper feedback confirms successful scans, ensuring reliability even in busy environments.

Engineered with ergonomics in mind, the HR5’s long reach snout, rubber hand grip, and protective hand guard provide maximum comfort and safety during long working sessions. Lightweight yet rugged, this device is a trusted choice for farmers looking to streamline compliance, traceability, and herd management.
