Have a look on TFF at this device to predict when a ewe will lamb , ideal for smallholders

The moo-call for cattle is tried and tested and well thought of

We never got on with ours. Too many false alerts meant we didn’t fully trust when it went off that the cow was calving. Slipped off the cows tails. Then the nail in the coffin was it never went off on several calvings, one needed intervention ! Cancelled the subscription and bought a camera, much better use of the money.
