The challenge

What operators are up against

Operators responsible for cattle, solar GPS neckbands, virtual paddocks, grazing cells, herd movement, animal location, pasture allocation, sensitive land, remote terrain, alerts, and producers cannot continuously inspect every operating condition or developing fault. Periodic checks leave gaps between readings, while isolated local indicators provide limited history and context. A late response can cause downtime, safety exposure, equipment damage, or incomplete compliance evidence. Teams need timely measurements, clear exceptions, and a defined operating response.

The solution

How Gallagher eShepherd Virtual Fencing and Precision Grazing addresses it

Gallagher eShepherd Virtual Fencing and Precision Grazing combines connected field data with application software. Solar-powered neckbands capture cattle position and behavior while the application maintains configured virtual boundaries, schedules, mob membership, and animal status. The system compares movement with virtual paddocks, guides animals through audio and limited correction, retains location history. Producers create or move boundaries, rotate mobs, protect waterways or crops, locate animals, respond to alerts, reduce physical fencing.

How it works

Teams configure the monitored assets, users, and operating rules. Solar-powered neckbands capture cattle position and behavior while the application maintains configured virtual boundaries, schedules, mob membership, and animal status. EShepherd exchanges position and boundary records through its cellular or proprietary LoRa base-station architecture; no exact taxonomy is asserted.
