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.

eShepherd virtual fencing success with Nick Jorgensen
We recently sat down with Nick Jorgensen - CEO of Jorgensen Land & Cattle to discuss his experience in implementing eShepherd virtual fence for large scale management of rotational grazing. Nick and his team run about 1500 Angus females, grazing about 15000 acres of native prairie grass Northern Chip County in Ideal, South Dakota. They've implemented eShepherd neckbands on a portion of the cow herd and are now into their third grazing season.
