[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 2848"] Interestingly, everyone I've talked to has the same concerns. The animals don't always cooperate. What if the tag falls off. I know the USDA has had successful trials with the technology, and wonder how many of these it would take to convince cattle owners to consider using it? It is really a radical departure from using fences. Since the technology uses GPS, there is some error in the boundary definition (I think it's up to 20 feet) so an area defined by this technology would have to be in the order of, say ten or twenty acres perhaps? The virtual fence is designed to also contain an ID tag, which may make it slightly more useful since it would, conceivably, be doing two things at once. Thanks for your thoughts, it helps me quite a bit in understanding how this technology might get moved into the market. [email=lisa.dufresne@seeport.com]lisa.dufresne@seeport.com[/email] [/QUOTE]
