Testimonial
“Your trough sensor saved the lives of 83 heifers we had in a holding paddock. Specifically, an air leak caused a bubble to develop in the pipe leading from the storage tank to the trough, which halted the water flow. Fortunately, the manager was away for the long weekend but had been using the app. As a result, he quickly noticed the problem and had one of the station hands investigate. They were able to move the stock to another paddock in time. It is indeed shocking to think about what could have happened without that sensor. Thanks for providing such a great product. We are now in the process of installing your sensors on all our paddocks where we don’t have a dam as a backup.”
