Farmote GPS livestock tracking collars provide real-time location monitoring for extensive grazing operations.

Overview

Farmote GPS collars enable real-time tracking of livestock across extensive grazing areas. The collars transmit location data to a cloud platform, providing visibility into where animals are at any time.

Beyond simple tracking, the technology enables virtual fencing - using audio cues and mild stimulation to contain animals within defined boundaries without physical fencing. This capability can reduce fencing costs and enable flexible grazing management.

The system is particularly valuable for extensive operations, rough terrain, or situations where physical fencing is impractical or expensive.
