Why our collars hang below the neck
Our collars hang below the neck for a number of reasons. Their low centre of gravity keeps them from rotating or shifting as the animal moves, so there's less need for mid-season adjustments.
That same position fits a larger, longer-lasting battery and lets the solar panel work more efficiently, making year-round grazing possible even in woodland and low light.
It's also protected from the wear most collars face: tree-rubbing, and getting caught in a handling crush.
The chain keeps consistent contact incase a pulse is necessary, one of the reasons livestock running Nofence reaches a 99.7% containment rate.
