Supplementary figure 1. QQPlot for residuals from the linear mixed models (see Table 1 and Table 2).  Residuals are for predicted number of pulses (average per day, to the power of ¼).

Supplementary table 1. Transitioning cows to the dairy – human error events causing raceway obstructions removed. Median values (and range) showing the distribution of the response of dairy cows housed in two different groups to the Halter virtual fencing system (per cow.day).

Supplementary table 2. Estimates of main and interactive fixed effects in a linear mixed regression model for the number of pulses received by cows while transitioning to the dairy using the dataset which excludes days on which the raceway was temporarily obstructed.
