Hi there , three weeks into breeding and am thinking to myself , next year hopefully I might install some type of heat and health detection , but would like to line my ducks first , dairymaster a will tell all the good tales but I want the farmers version , no bull**** , I am only ok when it comes to technology but milk a few hundred cows and want to make life a little easier but not wasre money that I would have to borrow .
Cheers

I have heatime and find it great but the collars go. The new ones have 5 yr full warranty. Moo monitors are good too I hear. Problem with both systems is the collars go. And in the moo monitor you have to change batteries regularly at a cost of 10 euro a pack last time I checked. Ring farmers who have whatever system you want and not just 1.

What do you mean go , battery , fail to work or lost , definitely it is best to talk to farmers who have them rather than taking dairymaster word

They just stop working. People without head locking gates get a lot longer out of them. Head locks are rough on collars.

Take dairymasters word! Wow, you might as well bring the lub for them also!
