The claim here is that the device can actually induce a specific behavior in a cow. A fence can't do that.

- hammock 6y agoHuh? An electric fence can't induce a cow to stay within a boundary? The collars here are basically the same training collars they make for dogs. They require constant recharging (at least once a week) and have other downsides like range, etc.
- xsmasher 6y ago>How are we able to shift a cow to and from the milk shed with the click of a button? A fence can't move a cow from one location to another at an assigned time.
- hammock 6y agoMoving cows is done today (as has been done for thousands of years) by calling them with, e.g. your voice. A lot of herds will come home on schedule without you even calling them.
- sildur 6y agoThese are solar powered.
- jessaustin 6y agoMy cows love to defecate on each other. From my observations of other herds, they're not alone in this. A solar panel coated with a layer of dried manure isn't going to do much recharging.
