That conversation is part of a larger movement toward remote grazing technologies, a growing category of tools that includes virtual fencing, GPS livestock tracking and other precision livestock management systems.
About remote grazing technologiesRemote grazing technologies comprise a growing field known as precision livestock management, which uses GPS technology, wireless communication, sensors and software to help producers make more informed livestock and pasture management decisions.
Remote grazing technologies have emerged as one potential tool to help address these challenges.
