GPS - cattle tracking, how cost-effective?

Question

satellite navigation

The idea came to create a gps tracker to track the location of cows. The topic is quite relevant, for some time he lived in the countryside.
In general, the idea is not new, but in my region no one is doing this, the market is empty. I would like to hear your comments on this.
The very essence of the question is how difficult it is to design and establish small-scale production of such sensors on a small budget?

Answer 1

To understand how difficult it is to establish mass, even small-scale production - see how flipper zero is doing:

To check, try to assemble a prototype in a single copy, and then try to order what something similar at the factory (most likely - at several factories)
In general - I'm sure they already do such things. At the very least, adapting existing trackers is a task of how to hang it around a cow's neck, and optionally integrate it with some kind of automated system.

but specifically in my region no one does this, the market is empty

If the idea is not new, but the market is empty - most likely there is no demand.
We tried to call farmers directly and ask "here I have gps trackers. Are you interested?"

Answer 2

so there are trackers. just buy them and put them on your "server"
