Tech Talk: Virtual Fence

During this Tech Talk Meghan Filbert of No Fence discusses "Virtual Fencing 101," an educational session aimed at conservation partnership staff and technical service providers. The training explains the technical aspects of virtual fencing, its effectiveness, opportunities, and challenges, as well as its costs and vendors in the U.S. Participants will learn how virtual fencing can manage livestock using GPS collars and mobile devices to create boundaries, minimizing the need for physical interior fences. This technology reduces labor and enhances livestock management flexibility, making it easier to implement grazing plans and manage difficult terrain.
