Virtual fencing for cattle

Virtual fencing for cattle in United States.

Solar-charged GPS neckbands and an audio-first welfare protocol, on one platform. Built by Gallagher, in livestock since 1938.

In United States

eShepherd runs on commercial cattle ranches across the United States, from extensive beef in Texas brush country to native-prairie rotations in South Dakota. It suits big country: mixed cellular and LoRa coverage, and labour moved off fence maintenance and onto herd management.

Why eShepherd

Why eShepherd works in United States

  • Own the hardware outright with a small monthly connectivity charge, rather than leasing it per head, so it wins on total cost over its designed service life.
  • Qualifies for USDA NRCS cost-share; the ROI calculator models 50% and 75% subsidy.
  • Solar-charged LiFePO4 batteries designed for 7 to 10 years of service*, with no scheduled battery swaps to manage.
  • Cellular roaming across Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile and US Cellular, with LoRa base stations reaching miles where coverage drops.
  • Built by Gallagher, in livestock since 1938, alongside the energisers and EID gear US ranches already trust.

*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 United States?

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 United States

eShepherd cellular runs on Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, and US Cellular Cat-M1 / NB-IoT bands. These IoT-specific bands have better rural coverage than the bands your phone uses. Where the cellular map drops out, the Sand Hills, parts of the Great Basin, far west Texas, LoRa base stations bridge the gap with one tower covering several miles.

Compare

How eShepherd compares

eShepherd is one of several virtual fencing systems available in the US. 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 →
