Pushing boundaries in livestock farming

eShepherd™
Instantly adaptable virtual fencing for beef farmers. 

 

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 launching eShepherd on specific beef farming operations in New Zealand. Register your interest today to receive the latest eShepherd news.
