Series Description
Explore the transformative potential of virtual fence technology in livestock management. Although it was first conceptualized in the 1980’s, virtual fencing has only recently become practical for working ranches, and its rapid evolution has significant implications for a broad range of land management and livestock production goals and values. This video series showcases early adopters from across the U.S., sharing their experiences and insights to help you effectively integrate virtual fencing into your operations.

Episode Description
Virtual fence technology isn’t a replacement for animal husbandry or ranch management practices, but rather, it provides users with another tool in the toolbox that offers ultimate flexibility and adaptability. Monitoring progress and adaptive management are crucial for success and while some benefits may not be seen immediately there are a range of ancillary benefits that users can enjoy along the way.
