[QUOTE="Homesy, post: 7918563, member: 71466"] Buy enough for them all bar barrens. Taking them on and off is just a pain in arse and unless you have staff sitting around with nothing to do probably won't get done as often as it should. I've had the Herdinsights for 4 years now but if doing it again I would look carefully at the boluses. The main unit costs similar but the boluses are £30 for the life life of the cow. I have had over 15% of the collars go wrong. They replaced them FOC for the first year or two but now charge 60% of new until next year when I pay the full amount. The boluses are better for health as they pick up sick cows earlier. I have usually found and treated sick cows 12 hrs before they alert. The boluses also tell you when a cow is on calving which would give me more sleep in calving period. [/QUOTE]
