I think you’re onto something with herd behavior. A study (grant funded of course) should be carried out to test cattle vectoring (herd behavior) through applied electromagnetics. The magnetic part would be needed to dynamically orient the cows and the electro part would be needed to get them moving. GPS positioning would be used to monitor the process and provide feedback to control herd movement. In the end, just think how many farmers would benefit from this new technology by simply pushing a button to have his dairy herd come in all by itself on time from the pasture for whatever reason without anyone having to go out into the pasture to find, collect and herd them back to the barn. Push another button and off they go back to the pasture. I know my grandfather would’ve liked to have had something like that as well as me and my brother during our summers there. And, why stop there. I sure there would be thousands of other applications. :-) Also Brian, you are correct with your comment about virtually no level surfaces in New York State . BTW, as a former upstate NY resident I’m curious as to which part of NY were you referring to (there being so many places there that fit your description)?

How would you plan to control for herd behaviour, since that may have direct influence on the cows desire to align themselves relative to each other...

The news reports I've heard are that the observations show cattle aligned N/S except under HV power lines (I have not yet read the article.) The conclusion that cattle align themselves with the Earth's magnetic field at all is based on one assumption, that the alignment is due to magnetic fields and not because (say) they're warming themselves in the sunlight or some terrain influence. That power lines cause them to lose the ability to sense magnetic fields is based on TWO assujmtions, and needs a closer look. If, as in some animals known to sense North, cattle do sense the magnetic field by way of magnetite particles, and if those are small enough, it is POSSIBLE they might no longer sense North due to the AC fields under power lines moving those particles around. I should apply for a grant to install inductors on a herd of cattle, and DC/AC converters, so that I might selectively induce AC magnetic fields on selected bovines and see if they fail to align with the herd.
