Yes, cattle sirens are effective in summoning cattle to feeding areas. The method relies on conditioning cattle to associate the siren’s sound with the availability of food. Initially, cattle may respond slowly as they learn the association. However, with consistent use, they typically begin to approach quickly upon hearing the siren, similar to other animals trained with auditory cues. Historically, ranchers relied on vehicle horns, which often led to wear and damage. Cattle sirens provide a durable and efficient alternative, reducing strain on vehicle components while achieving the same result.

Nope! Occasionally check to make sure there is no debris in the fan by carefully inspecting the PIERCE cattle siren.

It can be mounted to a car, truck, SUV, ATV, UTV or tractor. It can be mounted to virtually any vehicle as long as you have a 12 volt battery source for power. Keep mounting away from tires, and places where low lying tree branches or brush could damage it.

The heavy duty boasts a louder siren that runs for 8 minutes longer than the standard. We suggest the heavy-duty siren for daily use. If you’re using the siren a couple times a week the standard should suit your needs.

There are a number of variables to consider when answering this question. Wind, weather, terrain, mounting placement and other factors will contribute to how far the sound travels. With that said, customers report effectiveness up to a mile away.

Our shop is located in Henrietta, Texas, United States, where we fabricate, weld, assemble, and service our bale spikes.

With normal pressure and a standard bale you are looking at 15 to 20 seconds.

With proper maintenance, a 20-year life can reasonably be expected. We routinely see PIERCE bale spikes manufactured in the early 90s still working on ranches locally.
