Cows Herded by Pagers in Japan Study
In Shimane Prefecture Japan researchers train cows to respond to pocket pagers. Under Pavlov inspired drills cows stop grazing and move to feed when pagers beep. Atsuo Minari notes cows look up and head to feeding station, though some ignore alerts. The project aims to cut labor as rural farms face staffing shortages.
