Patch for monitoring heat cycle?

[bobrammer]

Someone mentioned a patch for determining when a cow is in heat. I did a search, but couldn't find it. Can someone enlighten me on the details? Thanks!

With all the trees around here I prefer the Estrus Alert patches over the Kamar. Works better in the cold and not so many false readings.

There is also Heat Watch, but is expensive to set up (or used to be) and works better in a dairy freestall set up.

Probably was HeatWatch . It does monitor the heat cycle and will tell you times and mounts on cattle that stand . Operates from a computer , cow wears a patch with a transmitter in it that sends radio frequency signal when mounted. I use it on my beef operation with tremendous success . I also sell them for the company, (CowChips, LLC) . Got http://www.heatwatch.com for more info.
