eShepherd
Virtual Fencing
A remote shepherd for your cattle
eShepherd virtual fencing puts you in control of your cattle—bulls included, without lifting a post or rolling out a wire.
Using solar-powered, GPS-enabled livestock neckbands and a simple app, you can fence, track, and move your cattle with ease. Do it all, 24/7, from anywhere. Shift mobs, rotate grazing, and protect your land with virtual fencing built for the modern beef producer.
Proven in the paddock.
Built for the realities of grazing.
eShepherd is purpose-built for extensive grazing systems and tough terrain, not retrofitted from dairy or indoor systems. From hill country to dry country, small farms to large-scale operations, and low-touch grazing setups, it works where you work.
Smart virtual fencing. Built for your conditions.
Simple to set up.
Choose from two proven options — cellular for quick setup and lower cost, or LoRa base stations for remote terrain with limited coverage. Our rugged long-life neckbands will keep your cattle contained even outside signal range.
Smart grazing. Powered by Gallagher innovation
Farmers have trusted Gallagher for generations. That same reliability powers eShepherd—robust design, long battery life, and proven tech. Built for livestock producers, backed by support that understands farming.
You own it. You control it.
No subscriptions.
With eShepherd, you buy the hardware outright. Invest when it suits your cash flow without being locked into high ongoing subscription costs. If neckbands aren’t on cattle, you’re not paying for something you’re not using. And, because it’s a capital investment, you may be eligible for the 20% Investment Boost tax deduction.

Better welfare by design.
Low stress. High standards.
eShepherd uses behavioral science to guide animals gently with sound, minimising electric correction. Stay connected to each animal’s wellbeing with 24/7 herd visibility and early alerts when something’s not right.
