eShepherd™ Virtual Fencing Launches Full Introduction to North American Ranchers

Kansas City, Mo. — Gallagher, a global leader in animal management  solutions, announces its official North American eShepherd™ virtual fencing launch. The  company first brought this technology to North America in early 2024, piloting it with producers.  eShepherd virtual fencing system is designed to transform the way producers manage their  livestock.  

This breakthrough technology offers an efficient, sustainable, and animal-friendly solution to  fencing, redefining the future of livestock management. 

“We decided to leverage virtual fencing in our business because of the physical and logistical  challenges that come along with trying to implement rotational grazing at scale,” says Nick  Jorgensen, CEO of Jorgenson Land and Cattle. “Lots of people do rotational grazing and I’m sure lots of them do it in in larger herds like ours, but what we found is that we’ve got too many  groups of cows spread out too far apart on too many acres.”  

eShepherd™ creates virtual boundaries for grazing livestock. Equipped with a solar-powered  neckband, animals are guided within designated areas through auditory cues and a pulse. Producers create and monitor livestock boundaries remotely via a web and smartphone app,  enabling more precise management of grazing patterns and improved pasture utilization. 

“eShepherd represents a new era in livestock management,” says Sharl Liebergreen, general  manager of eShepherd. “By integrating cutting-edge technology with proven animal behavior  principles, we are helping producers enhance productivity while maintaining animal welfare and  sustainability.” 

The eShepherd™ system supports rotational grazing, helping producers maximize pasture  regeneration and reduce overgrazing.
