Collection description
Commercial Global Positioning System (GPS) sensors were deployed on three outdoor cattle to track their location and activity. The sensors recorded locations every 15 minutes when the animals were active and the update rate was reduced when the animals were not active to conserve battery. Activity index was measured by a dynamometer embedded in the cow-equipped sensors, where each movement along the heave axis over a half-hour period incremented the count by one. Additionally, the sensors recorded temperature every half an hour. Please note that this dataset is linked to the dataset 'Cattle grazing observations', doi: 10.5526/erdr-00000216.
