The Product

Throughout our history we’ve been known to develop award-winning solutions, and now we’re commercializing the next. Named eShepherd, this future farm virtual fencing technology allows farmers to monitor, move and contain livestock anywhere on their ranch, breaking down those difficult to fence paddocks into smaller grazing cells to run a more efficient and thriving pasture-based system.
