Abstract
A system for automatically sensing, monitoring, and analyzing livestock to provide age verification and relative vigor metrics. The system generally includes a tag attachable to a livestock, a location detector, and a data processor. The tag senses livestock motion and produces first data indicative of a physical parameter. The location detector senses livestock location and produces second data indicative of the physical parameter. The data processor receives and stores a first aggregation of data of the same type as the first data and a second aggregation of data of the same type as the second data for a plurality of other livestock. The data processor statistically analyzes the first data and second data in relation to the first and second aggregations of data and generates an indication of the age and a relative vigor metric of the livestock.
