A pet bowl assembly includes a first bowl including a first base and a first wall extending radially upwardly from the first base and a second bowl including a second base and a second wall extending radially upwardly from the second base. The second bowl is configured for being received inside of the first bowl with the second base resting of the first base. The bowl assembly also includes a lid including a lid base and a lip protruding downwardly from the lid base. The lip is configured for insertion between the first wall and the second wall such that the lid is configured for holding the second bowl in place inside the first bowl while an engagement of a lid engagement section of the lid with a first bowl engagement section of the first bowl removably connects the lid to the first bowl. The lid engagement section being on an outer circumferential surface of the lip and the first bowl engagement being on an inner circumferential surface of the first wall.

An automatic pet feeder, comprising a bowl with a plurality of compartments, a cover and a sensor, the bowl being rotated relative to the cover to sequentially expose each the compartments, the bowl having location regions detectable by the sensor, each location region having a first edge and a second edge, the motor being driven at a first speed until the first edge is detected, and the motor being driven at a second, slower speed until the second edge is detected, stopping the motor.

In accordance with embodiments disclosed herein, there are provided methods and systems for real-time beef cattle monitoring utilizing Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) based technologies. For example, there is disclosed a system having at least a memory to store instructions; a processor to execute the instructions; a database to store data for heads of livestock, wherein each head of livestock is individually identified via a Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) tag, the RFID tag uniquely identifying each of the heads of livestock to the system; a plurality of antennas to read information transmitted from the RFID tags; a transactional and analytical server to receive the information transmitted from the RFID tags and to store the information in the database; wherein the transactional and analytical server to further analyze the information stored in the database to identify when each head of livestock is present within a defined feeding zone; and monitoring the heads of livestock for anomalous feeding behavior based on the analysis. Other related embodiments are disclosed.
