* Observation 1 taken prior to IButton being placed on the animal's rear leg, Observation 2 with IButton attached and Observation 3 immediately after the IButton was removed.

** IButton temperatures recorded fifteen minutes after being attached to the animal's foot (to allow for the sensor to reach equilibrium)
