The platform that grows with your country.

eShepherd is the base. Pasture and Vision Weigh extend it. One platform for Precision Livestock Management™, three tools, all on the same animals and the same land.

Virtual fencing

A remote shepherd for your cattle

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, saving hours of mustering and fence work every week. Do it all, 24/7, from anywhere. Shift mobs, rotate grazing, and protect your land with virtual fencing built for the modern beef producer.

Cow calfCropping

Ryan & Mitch Gravenhof

Worthington, Minnesota

Cow calf production, cropping, and sheep. All managed with a strong eye toward stewardship, efficiency, and long-term sustainability.

“I’ve always had rotational grazing in the back of my mind. But the practicality of cross fencing creek pastures just wasn’t there. When eShepherd came out, I thought, this is the answer.”

Nick Kunec

Bonnyville, Alberta, Canada

Ultra-high-density rotational grazing on dry Alberta country — 300 animal units, four moves a day, half-acre paddocks.

“It meant I could move four times a day on half-acre paddocks with about 300 animal units. That's 600,000 to 700,000 pounds per acre.”

eShepherd controls where cattle graze. The Auto Weigher measures how they respond. Together — a real-time feedback loop on every grazing decision.

“We managed our entire grazing operation remotely from the Gold Coast, shifting virtual fences and making feed decisions daily based on live weight data.”
