Cow-E-Virtual Fence Collar

Smith and Molsbee are ranchers in Nevada that are specifically having trouble with a portion of their virtual E. Collars. Notably they have cited that the pace at which they can remove and replace the Cow E. Collar has been a problem. In addition, the previous models have broken and/or caused injury to the cattle over the season. We must find an alternative that meets the pre-existing requirements while reducing the time it takes to get a cow de-collard, checked, and re-collared while also making sure it does not break or cause injury to the cattle. We are to find a solution that doesn’t break when a cow rubs up against various objects and allows for quick detachment and reattachment of the cow E. collars.
