Description

A dataset containing planar real-time point locations for 10 calves between 00:00:00 and 02:00:00 UTC on May 2nd, 2016. These data are a subset of the data set published in the supplemental materials of Dawson et al. 2019, and are included here primarily to be used for function-testing purposes.

Usage

data(calves)

Format

A data frame with 11118 rows and 5 variables:

calftag

a unique identifier for each calf

x

planar x coordinate

y

planar y coordinate

time

UTC time at which location fix was obtained

date

date on which fix location occurred

Details

Calves were approximately 1.5-year-old beef cattle kept in a 30 X 35 m2 pen at the Kansas State University Beef Cattle Research Center in Manhattan, KS.
