if you can look in the valley vet supply catalog they have them with the other heat detecters,the way i understood it they have a timer built in that will tell you exact time standing heat begun.

The makers of Heat Watch had a similar product called Mount Count.  It was simpler in that it didn't have the hourly tracking.  I bought three to try them out right before I decided to go ahead and buy a gomer bull.

I like the way the tattletale appears to give you a report on how many mounts have occured during each hour.

Here is some information on the unit. Very interesting!

Now breed with greater success. This 12-hour timer precisely pinpoints the time a cow begins standing estrus and counts the number of 3-second standing mounts the cow accepts. It automatically stores in memory the three most recent series of mounting activity (up to three 12-hour series) and can easily be played back for reference. It runs on two lithium batteries (included). Order adhesive separately.
