Pushing boundaries in livestock farming
eShepherd™
Instantly adaptable virtual fencing for cattle ranchers.
The days of labor and resource-intensive physical fencing will soon be over. Moving and fencing livestock is no longer dependent on where you can get a fence line. eShepherd allows you to monitor, move and contain livestock anywhere on your farm, breaking down those difficult to fence paddocks into smaller grazing cells to run a more efficient and thriving pasture-based system.
We're currently qualifying suitable ranches for our first release of eShepherd neckbands in North America. Register your property for qualification today and we will be in touch when eShepherd is ready for you.
eShepherd™ is a solar powered, GPS enabled, livestock neckband that enables you to remotely track, manage, fence and move your livestock around your ranch using virtual boundaries or fences. Simply draw your virtual fence anywhere on your property and your cattle learn to move with and remain within the virtual barrier.
