Pushing boundaries in livestock farming

eShepherd™
Instantly adaptable virtual fencing
 

 

The days of labour 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 in the final stages of eShepherd trials on beef farms across Australia. Register your property today and we will be in touch when eShepherd is ready for you.

A remote shepherd for your herd

 

Real-time visibility and peace of mind of being connected to your herd like never before. Track where your animals are located, what they are doing and where they have been roaming with 24/7 visibility of their grazing, resting and walking behaviours. eShepherd moves away from managing animals based on herd averages, monitoring each animal within your herd as an individual.

eShepherd™ is a solar powered, GPS enabled, livestock neckband that enables you to remotely track, manage, fence and move your livestock around your farm 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.
