I'd love to work on this for health monitoring and locating cows. But the application the writeup describes--moving the cows to the barn--is a solved problem, at least at feeding time.
When I raised cows all I had to do was yell "FOOOOOOD!" across the pasture and they came running.
- divbzero 6y agoI kept thinking this too. Cow movement seems to be a very thoroughly solved problem. Would love to hear if other ranchers think otherwise.

I grew up on a mid sized dairy farm and a good incentive to have a human go and fetch the cows was (and has always been) to have eyes on the herd. You can't see her ears or how hard it might be to get up when you just issue vibrations.
