"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."

Dairy Farmer and Creator of the
BOVINE BEACON, Meridan, Idaho

1. The BOVINE BEACON is designed to be applied directly over the cow's backbone between the hip and pin bones (See Figure 1 above). 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 (Figure 2 above).
3. Turn the BOVINE BEACON upside down, and apply beads of glue to the cloth as shown in Figure 3 above. 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.

That's all there is to it!

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.
