Early Fever Detection in Beef Cattle: Why Hours Matter
Bovine respiratory disease remains the leading cause of death in feedlot cattle, and the window for effective treatment is measured in hours, not days. Continuous ear-temperature monitoring gives producers that window back.

ResearchBRD Detection Rate Study: Ear Temperature vs. Visual Observation
A comparative field study tracked BRD detection rates across two matched pen groups — one monitored by continuous ear-temperature sensing, one by standard visual observation. The results confirmed a detection gap of more than 18 hours on average.

TechnologyLong-Range Wireless Networks in Agricultural Settings
Most wireless systems for cattle require $10,000–$25,000 in infrastructure before a single animal is monitored. A long-range, low-power approach covers an entire feedlot for under $2,000 — and scales to 100,000 head without architectural changes.
