Located in the mountains of the Chugoku region, the Urinazawa grazing pasture is managed by a single person, overseeing Japanese Black cattle on approximately 33 hectares of grassland. With the pasture a 30-minute drive each way, patrols and checking the cows’ whereabouts used to be a major burden, but by using the Ushimiru collar to monitor location, headcount and movement history, the farm has reduced anxiety about missing animals or accidents and achieved more efficient herd management.
Kawamura Farm, located on the mid-slopes of Mt. Sanbe, manages grazing cattle that do not return to the barn every day. Feeding and searching used to be very time-consuming, but Ushimiru collars now visualize each cow’s location and behavior, greatly reducing the effort and time lost in daily operations.
