Halter and Sheridan Community Land Trust will be hosting a Virtual Fencing Field Day to showcase a pilot program that uses wireless technology to create fencing in Sheridan County.
Backed by The Nature Conservancy with support from the World Wildlife Fund, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the Sheridan County Conservation District, the pilot project involves three local ranchers.
Each rancher is testing the collars on herds of more than 100 cattle across different terrain, from mountains to plains, testing for themselves how well the fencing operates in various Sheridan County terrain.
The Field Day will be a hands-on event, held in partnership with Halter. The day will offer participants the chance to learn how Halter’s virtual fencing system works, witness it in action, hear from the real ranchers who are utilizing it in Sheridan County and learn about funding sources that can help you bring virtual fencing to your ranch.
The field day will include a presentation on how the system functions, on-the-ground demonstrations, and real-world insights from local operations currently using virtual fencing.
Sheridan Community Land Trust Director of Conservation John Graves explained how this wireless fencing works.
