Virtual fencing for cattle
Virtual fencing for cattle in Canada.
Solar-charged GPS neckbands and an audio-first welfare protocol, on one platform. Built by Gallagher, in livestock since 1938.
In Canada
eShepherd operates on Canadian cattle country from British Columbia to Alberta, including Crown and pastoral lease land where physical fencing is impractical to install or recover. It handles extensive rangeland, hill country and high-density rotational grazing alike.
Why eShepherd
Why eShepherd works in Canada
- Own the hardware with a small monthly connectivity charge, no per-head lease.

- Solar-charged LiFePO4 batteries built for Canadian winters and designed for 7 to 10 years of outdoor service*.
- Crown and pastoral lease compatible: graze land you don't own without infrastructure you can't recover.
- Backed by Canadian research partnerships, including Thompson Rivers University.
*Designed service life is an engineering estimate based on accelerated life testing and component specifications; not yet validated across the full projected period. Actual service life varies with operating conditions. See our warranty information for coverage.
Pricing
What does eShepherd cost in Canada?
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 Canada
eShepherd cellular runs on Telus, Rogers and Bell Cat-M1 / NB-IoT bands. IoT cellular has better rural coverage than the bands your phone uses. Where the map drops out in extensive northern country, LoRa base stations bridge the gap.
Compare
How eShepherd compares
eShepherd is one of several virtual fencing systems available in Canada. 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 →
