I have always been interested in the cow/calf aspect of cattle and to make money in the cattle industry you need to get your cows bred. Many cattle producers have gone to the breeding techniques of AIing or Artificial Inseminating where the producer needs to catch the cow in her heat cycle. To ensure that you catch the cow in heat you should watch for the signs however, it is hard to watch your cows 24/7 and some cows don't even show signs of heat so thanks to technology watching for heat is made a little easier for producers by The Heat Watch System. The Heat Watch System uses an small electronic device that is glued to the back near the tail head of the cow. Then when the device is set in the cow the small device sends out a signal to a remote computer telling it that the cow has been mounted and logs the standing mounts. This is just wonderful for busy producers because the weight of another cow or a teaser bull triggers the device to ensure that you catch the cow in her heat cycle and to better your chances of successfully breeding the cow. I have included the one of the many websites that show this device and for those who are also interested in this and the website also shows step by step of how to use The Heat Watch System.
