Claim 0:
1. A method performed by a biomass monitoring system, the method comprising:
receiving sensor data regarding livestock that is contained in an enclosure and that is monitored by one or more sensors that are positioned by a winch subsystem;
determining that a quality of the sensor data satisfies one or more repositioning criteria comprising:
determining that an approximate number of livestock detected by the one or more sensors satisfies a threshold number, or
determining that track angles formed between tracks of two or more of the livestock and a horizontal plane satisfy a threshold track offset value, or
determining that a track duration of the two or more of the livestock stasfy a track threshold duration;

based on determining that the quality of the sensor data satisfies the one or more repositioning criteria, determining to update a position of the one or more sensors that are coupled to the winch; and
transmitting an instruction to the winch subsystem to move the one or more sensors to the updated position.
