Heat detection

Whsts the best Heat detection system on the market? One that works on the cow alone and doesn't involve teasers or squeezed bulls. Its for a 16 cow herd split on two farms opposite each other divided by a road.

I used the kamar patches with fair good success, the glue ones, the self adhesive ones wernt great at staying on, that said you need to watch them for a bit when you see the patch starting to colour up to be sure, I think it works along the lines of the more red in the strip the further on they are bulling, there quite visible from a distance too, one drawback is if sizes are mixed in animals smaller cows might mount high enough to trigger it, but would want to be a fair difference in size, and the position on the tail where they are needs to be right but the instructions and the applicator thing make it easy enough
