"Cow Siren" Calls Cattle In To Feed
If you feed cattle on pasture, you'll be interested in this new cow siren that can be used to call cattle in from far away. It operates off your pickup's battery and comes with mounting brackets that let you mount it on the headache rack behind the cab.
    The siren is made from stainless steel and measures about 8 in. in diameter. It's activated by simply flipping a toggle switch in the cab.
    "It works like a whelper on a police car and makes a pretty loud noise that your cattle will eventually come to associate with food," says Ronald Clark, Longhorn Trailer & Body Co., Wichita Falls, Texas. "It works a lot better than rolling down the window or getting out of your pickup to yell to the animals."
    How far the sound travels depends on how much wind there is and which way it's blowing, says Clark. "If there's no wind, you can hear the siren a long way off," he notes.
    Sells for $65 plus S&H.
