Virtual fencing for cattle
Virtual fencing for cattle in Ireland.
Solar-charged GPS neckbands and an audio-first welfare protocol, on one platform. Built by Gallagher, in livestock since 1938.
In Ireland
eShepherd ships to Ireland for beef, dairy and mixed grazing across the small holdings, commonage and rented land that define Irish farming. Frequent moves and ground you can't post are exactly where virtual fencing earns its keep.
Why eShepherd
Why eShepherd works in Ireland
- Rented and conacre land: graze ground you don't own without infrastructure to recover at lease-end.
- Adaptive rotational grazing across small-paddock geometry, all from the phone: strip, block, leader-follower or mob.
- Cellular roaming on Vodafone, Three Ireland and Eir; coverage is strong across the grazing belt, so LoRa is rarely needed.
- Audio-first welfare protocol with a brief low-energy pulse only after the cues, meeting Irish DAFM expectations.
- Gallagher Ireland has been part of Irish farm infrastructure for decades.
Pricing
What does eShepherd cost in Ireland?
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 Ireland
eShepherd cellular runs on Vodafone, Three Ireland and Eir Cat-M1 / NB-IoT bands via a global SIM. Irish IoT cellular coverage is strong across all the major grazing counties.
Compare
How eShepherd compares
eShepherd is one of several virtual fencing systems available in Ireland. 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 →
