Claim 7:
8. A biomass monitoring system comprising:
one or more computers and one or more storage devices storing instructions that are operable, when executed by the one or more computers, to cause the one or more computers to perform operations 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.
