Gallagher eSherpherd

eShepherd virtual fencing puts you in control of your cattle—bulls included, without lifting a post or rolling out a wire. 

Using solar-powered, GPS-enabled livestock neckbands and a simple app, you can fence, track, and move your cattle with ease. Do it all, 24/7, from anywhere. Shift herds, rotate grazing, and protect your land with virtual fencing built for the modern beef producer.

As cattle farmers and ranchers ourselves, we're excited to share how eShepherd virtual fencing can transform producers' precision grazing and livestock operations.
