Milk Test Scale & Certification

When you start on the milk test journey you will find

very soon that you must have a scale to weigh your milk on.

We made the mistake early on in thinking

that any ol' scale would do.

Unfortunately not.

The first scale we bought off of Amazon was a hanging scale

but when our scale certifier came out to certify the scale

for us he said he couldn't because it didn't meet NTEP requirements for certification.

So he pointed out several scales that would meet the requirements and we

finally settled on this scale by Torrey.

The most important thing to look for when

purchasing your scale is that it is a

Legal for Trade Scale.

Once you settle on the scale you want and get it in,
you need to have it certified.

You will need to have your scale certified annually.


You must also have your scale certified prior to sending in your
testing materials to start the milk testing process.
You will provide proof of certification with your test.
