[QUOTE="CattleMan1920, post: 1587898, member: 37967"] The base station is about $6k, each collar is about $200, you will need a dedicated DSL broadband connection for each base station. You could get started on a small scale for under $10k, or the costs could go up substantially as you increase collars and base stations. Depends on how big you want the system to be. As for what else you can see besides heats, you see rumination, resting, feeding, and activity intensity in addition to behavior alerts and heat alerts. This can be invaluable because it allows you to quickly check your herd daily in a way that a visual check could never compare to. If you see rumination plummet, you had better be out looking at that cow ASAP to find out what’s wrong. [/QUOTE]
