Cattle destroy everything they can reach that isn't manufactured from steel. We have to build fences over our water tanks to prevent them from destroying automatic water valves. If they can get to e.g. a phone pedestal it is flattened within a week. Properly-built barbed wire fences deter them, but as soon as a post or wire loosens they're going through. Ear tags were a major innovation, in that they are made of plastic, in constant reach of cattle, and typically are only destroyed at a rate (I'm estimating here) of one per year per twenty cattle. I know that collars have been used to e.g. attach bells to cattle, and the pictures at the Halter site seem solidly-constructed, but I do wonder about reliability... Pastures are most productive when cattle eat the grass in an individual section to a particular minimum height, and then are moved to the next section. Cattle are fairly easily controlled via trivial annoyances (which makes various barbaric methods like hotshots used by some ranchers particularly unethical), so it makes sense that noise/vibration could move them in a particular direction. There would probably be some leakage, since different individuals have different personalities and tolerances. It looks like you could see the animals who escape on the map in the app, so that would be nice. Since we AI quite a bit the heat detection would be great. I wonder how it works? Maybe the collars communicate their relative positions to each other?
