At first glance the initial cost of the HeatWatch system looks expensive, but after a few years, any farmer will think it's cheap when he sees the time and money it saves in the long run. Think of it like this: Imagine a farmer using a tiny tractor to plow a very large field. He's done this for years and thinks it works just fine. One day he finally decides to invest in a larger tractor. After using it for a while, he will begin to wonder how he ever did without it!

The HeatWatch® Estrus Detection System operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, identifies the precise onset
and duration of standing heat, and is very easy to use.
HeatWatch® detects standing heat
with better than 95% accuracy and efficiency.
- Decrease days open
- Improves herd conception
- Fewer repeat breedings
- More cows and heifers A.I. bred to your favorite bull
- Identifies problem cows early
- Reduce number of culled cows
How HeatWatch® works
Small radio transmitters are placed inside disposable patches and glued onto the tailheads of your cows.
As mounting activity occurs, a radio receiver collects and transmits this information to a buffer attached to your computer.
The HeatWatch® software presents the data focusing on several key lists, including:
- Standing Heat
- Suspect Heat
- Non-Return
- Inactive
- Brief Cycle
