[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 631587, member: 968"] Smalltime - I also have cameras in both our barns. I don't even get up. Just get my "clicker" & turn TV on. My receivers are within arms reach so I just click from camera to camera :banana: lazyness is --- I love it! But, seriously, it is so good for the cattle. You never disturb them. If one is "starting", everytime you go out there & check them, she stops for some time - maybe 20 minutes or more. Also, you can observe things that you won't see when you go to the barn/pasture to check them. We had one last week, I watched her lay down, kick her leg, wring her tail - but no pushing. This went on for about 2 hours. Got hubby up, we put her in the chute. Sure enough - full breech. Saved nice heifer calf. NEVER, would have known till I observed her outside after daylight (we kick everything out of barn at 5:30 am unless they calved). Calf and dam would have really been stressed by then - if not a dead calf. Last cameras cost $120 for 2 cameras and receiver. Figure I more than just paid for it with that 1 assist. These cameras are outdoor safe and infra-red, so you could set them up overlooking paddocks - up to 330' away - unobstructed view. [/QUOTE]
