Virtual fencing for cattle
Virtual fencing for cattle in Australia.
Solar-charged GPS neckbands and an audio-first welfare protocol, on one platform. Built by Gallagher, in livestock since 1938.
In Australia
eShepherd was the first virtual fencing system legalised for commercial use in Australia, and it runs at scale today across beef, mixed cropping-livestock and extensive rangeland. It is built and backed here by Gallagher Animal Management, 88 years deep in Australian livestock infrastructure.
Why eShepherd
Why eShepherd works in Australia
- Built and supported in Australia by Gallagher, the same team behind the energisers, fencing and weighing gear already on most cattle operations.
- First virtual fencing system legalised for commercial use in Australia, with an audio-first welfare protocol backed by long-running CSIRO research.
- Mix cellular and LoRa on one property: cellular on the main mob, LoRa on the back paddock where coverage is patchy.
- Touchless in-paddock weighing through Gallagher Vision Weigh, the only virtual fencing system that integrates it.

Pricing
What does eShepherd cost in Australia?
Cost depends on your herd size, your connectivity setup and your terrain, so rather than a one-size price we build you an exact figure, free and no-obligation. You own the neckbands outright (no per-head lease), with a small monthly connectivity charge.

Connectivity
Carrier coverage in Australia
Telstra and Optus IoT bands (Cat-M1 / NB-IoT) cover the vast majority of Australian grazing country. Where cellular drops out, typical of inland QLD, the Pilbara, parts of the Riverina, LoRa base stations bridge the gap. The team scopes coverage before you commit.
Compare
How eShepherd compares
eShepherd is one of several virtual fencing systems available in Australia. The differences that matter: solar-charged neckbands you own outright (no per-head lease), and the option to mix cellular and LoRa on one property. See how eShepherd compares →
