"We didn’t think it would work with fodder beet, we used to waste 20–30% but now the cows graze it clean to the pegs. The pasture utilization is incredible."

Nathan M., Farm Owner · May 2026

"I would say we are saving 3 hours of labour a day… and we are going to get 15kg weaning weight gain. It’s a game-changer for our daily workload."

Bronya W., Farm Operator · Apr 2026

"Halter doesn't replace being a farmer, it helps you be a better farmer. The initial setup and getting the whole herd collared was a big project, but it's paying off."

Cameron T., Farm Manager · Mar 2026

"The automatic heat detection is spot on. We hit an 81% 6-week in-calf rate with Halter, which is a massive boost for our operation's productivity."

John G., Dairy Farmer · Feb 2026

Who It's For

Why Agriculture & Smart Farming Solutions choose this tool

🎯

Built for

It is best for dairy and beef operations looking to implement precise, flexible grazing management and automate herd movements without physical fences.

In-Depth Overview

Halter directly addresses the intense labor and imprecision of traditional farm management. Instead of spending hours physically setting up fences and moving stock, you can manage your herd from a mobile app. The system uses solar-powered, GPS-enabled collars that guide cattle with sound and vibration cues, allowing you to set virtual fences and shift herds with the push of a button. This automation is proven to save significant time; one farmer reports saving three hours of labor per day. Beyond labor savings, Halter provides deep insights to improve your farm's productivity. Its AI, branded as COWGORITHM®, analyzes animal behavior to provide automatic heat detection alerts, which one farmer used to achieve an impressive 81% 6-week in-calf rate. The platform also delivers real-time data on pasture growth and quality, enabling precise grazing that reduces feed waste—another farmer virtually eliminated a 20-30% loss in fodder beet. With a new satellite option for remote areas, Halter provides a comprehensive system for boosting efficiency and profitability.
