Daft question of the day. What’s the best/easiest way to remove the ankle pedometers? Been trying to cut them off but a slow job. Anyone got any tricks?

Wrap buster

Are you cutting them or lifting the locking flap?

I tried the wrap buster, but wasn’t keen on it as it didn’t seem very controlled. I was recommended carpet cutting scissors when I had lots to change, which were good, but the sand on them finally got the better of them.
Now just make sure my pen knife is sharp, or have a stone in my pocket to keep a good edge, as before though mainly due to sand killing any sharp edge.

thas why you see them on cows in market -too much hassle to remove.
Go for collar system......

 

[Bipper]

Very quickly coming to that conclusion!

I have Delaval collars on my girls for I.d ad they come into the parlour ,approx system, had anybody put the heat detection transporders on them, it seems a awful waste to be buying another set of collars, one company had said if I can get them to fit they still won't stand over ghe warranty.

 

[FJP]

yes. Work with plenty of farms who have done

I have the same. Was told that the transponder won't be heavy enough to hold the heat detection thingy in place.
We are going with a tag based system
