New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 2, April 2026.This study aimed to evaluate a tri‐axial accelerometer attached to a collar to determine the ability to accurately predict rumination, lying, grazing, and head shaking behaviour of ewes on pasture. Collars with accelerometers recording at 1 Hz were attached to 30 Romney type ewes managed in groups of 5.
