BOVINE
BEACON
See The Light, Catch The Heat
This premium standing heat indicator provides a highly
visible solution to day and night heat detection. When
pressure is exerted on this hi-tech patch, two substances
mix to produce a vivid color that "glows",
allowing for accurate heat detection, day or night.
You'll save time observing animals for heat, get more
bred, and have a more profitable reproduction program
with Bovine Beacon.
"The
Bovine Beacon is designed for all dairies, large and
small, and will adapt easily to most management plans.
I believe the Bovine Beacon can make the dairy industry
a more profitable business by detecting more heats,
lowering conception ratios and increasing the productive
life of cows."
Kevin Herriott, Dairy Farmer and Creator of the Bovine
Beacon, Meridian, Idaho

How
to use the Bovine Beacon
Follow these few simple steps to ensure proper operation
of the Bovine Beacon.
1: Placement 2: Tab Location 3: Glue Beads
1.The Bovine Beacon is designed to be applied directly
over the cow's backbone between the hip and pin bones.
Examine this location on the cow. If necessary, curry
the area to remove dirt and loose hair. Under wet or
rainy conditions, dry the area before applying the Bovine
Beacon.
2.Locate
and grip the TAB.
3.Turn
the Bovine Beacon upside down, and apply beads of glue
to the cloth. Each Bovine Beacon is packaged with a
glue applicator. Use only the glue that is provided
with the Bovine Beacon.
4.Place
the Bovine Beacon, glue-side down, on the backbone,
between the hip and pin bones with the tab facing the
tail.
5.Press
down on the cloth edges of the Bovine Beacon to work
the glue into the hair.
Visually inspect each cow that has a Bovine Beacon twice
a day at 12 hour intervals, or more often if possible.
The Bovine Beacon will activate after only one riding.
Note: To reduce false activations with the BOVINE
BEACON Standing Heat Indicator, prevent cow contact
with low hanging branches, back scratchers, cattle oilers,
etc. Also use care with "can't kick" devices
to avoid false activation.
