[QUOTE="skyhightree1, post: 1201067, member: 13268"] A-RR ranch I have gps on all my hounds and even beagles but let me let you in on a lil secret those batteries do not last as long as the regular tracking system. I run gps and tracking collars on my dogs reason being if I cant find them before the gps tracking collars die I can still track them with the tracking collars with a sonar beep and meter to determine where they are. The tracking collars can stay on for 60 days or so however unless you have a collar or rope around the cows head there is no where to really put one. The microchips have something you have to rub over the pet for my understand and then get the information it does not transmit. Kenny you must use Johnson collars. I use wildlife materials where I can change out on my own. Edit: those tracking collars are only good if they are on the cattle somehow there is no way to put under the skin for transmission so basically they are only good if on the cattle. If a thief saw them im sure they would remove them or turn them off so it would stop transmitting then sell the cattle and the collars. Here in VA it is a felony to remove a tracking collar off of a hound. Is it affordable depends on your pocket I have a good solid $12k invested in tracking collars and gps I have 35 collars 2 boxes and multiple antenna on different trucks. [/QUOTE]
