With some out-wintered cattle, we often find ourselves moving them into the next grazing block in the dark and I shine a torch onto the straw bale to get them moving towards it.
We've found using some new LED torches, the cattle don't seem to see the bale and just stop, whereas with a traditional bulb torch, they head straight to it.
I'm trying to decide if it's my imagination or not! I wonder if LED torches, whilst appearing similar white light, have some frequencies missing that the cattle can actually see.
Let me know if I'm mad.
