	abstract = {<p>The optimum husbandry of free-ranging cattle requires not only nutritional knowledge but also an understanding of how to manage and use behavioral information.\&nbsp; With the advent of global positioning technology (GPS) it is now possible to monitor animal travel with relative ease over extended periods of time without the observer influencing the observation.\&nbsp; Between March and April 2009 five cows in each of two similar large ({\textthreesuperior} 433 ha) arid rangeland pastures were individually monitored at a 1 Hz rate before as well as following weaning.\&nbsp; The ten cows ranged in age between three and fifteen years with six of the cows suckling male calves while the remaining four calves were female.\&nbsp; Accelerometer and magnetometer data used to quantify foraging and non-foraging behaviors together with animal travel will be discussed in light of directional virtual fencing (DVFTM) hardware and software that was used to obtain the data.</p>
