Virtual fencing for land that cell service doesn't reach

How the LoRa system works

Solar-powered base stations are placed across your property, connecting to your cattle's neckbands over Long-Range radio to deliver reliable containment even in patchy coverage areas. Fence boundaries are stored directly on each neckband, so containment works independently at every point in your pasture.

Built for rangeland operations

If you're running large herds across remote land, LoRa connectivity brings cattle containment to places where conventional fencing isn’t possible.

Is LoRa right for your operation?

LoRa is likely the right fit if:

✅Cell service is patchy or absent across your grazing area

✅You run cattle on remote rangeland, allotments, or Crown land

✅You're managing a large herd across vast or broken terrain

✅Conventional fencing is expensive or impractical where you graze

If you can reliably send/receive texts across your grazing area, eShepherd's cellular option could be right for you. We’ll assess both options before you commit to anything.

Built to move with your operation

Base stations can be placed permanently or can be disassembled and trailer-mounted to relocate as your operation changes.

Designed for your operation

Flexible coverage that moves with your operation

Base stations are made for easy self-install with the option to relocate as your grazing plan changes.

Own your hardware, control your costs

Your base stations and neckbands are a capital investment, not a high ongoing subscription cost. The low monthly data rate remains predictable as your herd grows.

Reliable in the terrain that breaks other systems

Built for ridges, gullies, and broken country where cell towers and other network signals are unreliable.

Right-sized for your property

We provide a FREE property assessment, so you buy exactly the base stations your land requires (not more infrastructure than you need).

“In years previous, gathering took a day or two with a full crew of cowboys, and then a lot of going back and re-riding for one or two cows here and there. This year, with virtual fence, we were able to do it in about six hours of riding. We knew we were 100% clean after that.”

“We had the option of going cellular, and while it would have likely worked well we felt that LoRa would assure us the coverage we wanted while also offering cost savings over the long term because of the lower monthly data charge per neckband. Because of the amazing coverage from our base stations, we've been able to graze areas cattle would never go giving us months of extra grazing and increasing our stocking capacity while also increasing land health.”
