I got to thinking about this tonight as I was on the way back from a 30 mile round trip jaunt that would have been unnecessary had I known for certain there was no calving activity.
We have all kinds of aids for heat detection such as heatwatch, tattletails, lottery ticket dealies, etc. I would be forever grateful to whomever could come up with some sort of appliance that would send a signal to my computer to let me know labor has commenced. It would be great anytime, and could save many a bitter cold midnight heifer check, but would especially do me service this time of year when I have cows scattered to various pastures.
It seems to me the technology has to exist. I would think like how heatwatch charts mounting activity, they could chart contractions couldnt they?
