Dairy cattle management
Dairy cattle management
Manage dry cows, bred heifers, and replacement stock from your phone. Less time on dry stock means more time where it matters most on the milking herd.

Managing non-lactating animals shouldn't pull focus from milk production. With Nofence, it doesn't have to.
Rotations without leaving the parlor

Place dry cows and heifers on outlying pastures and manage rotations from your phone. No daily fence checks, no herd moves on foot.
Graze remote ground without extra labor

Put dry stock on rougher, more distant pastures that support the dry period without adding to your workload. Set boundaries once and adjust as needed.
Build condition during the dry period

Consistent rotational grazing gives dry cows access to fresh forage on a schedule that supports body condition going into calving.
Put your whole farm to work

Leased ground, seasonal pastures, and parcels too remote or rough to justify traditional fencing all become viable grazing for dry stock and heifers.
Add carrying capacity without adding infrastructure. On leased land, invest in equipment that moves with you rather than fencing property you don't own.
Eyes on the herd, even from the parlor

Know where every collared animal is, whether you're managing the milking herd, handling off-farm work, or away from the farm. If an animal crosses a boundary, you get an alert immediately.
During the dry period, reduced activity alerts can flag animals that may need attention before a problem escalates.
A note on lactating cows
A note on lactating cows
Nofence is designed for extensive grazing systems, where animals stay on pasture for longer stretches without frequent returns to central facilities. For dry cows, bred heifers, and replacement stock, it is a natural fit.
Lactating cows are a different story. The daily routine of milking, feeding, and close health monitoring means they need hands-on management that virtual fencing is not built for. Collars can be rotated between dry and lactating animals seasonally, which helps you get more value from your investment.
How it works
How it works
Each animal wears a solar-powered GPS collar. You draw virtual boundaries on your phone, and cattle learn to respect them within days, eventually responding to audio alone.
The system runs on GPS satellites and cellular networks, with HerdNet™ providing collar-to-collar communication in areas with limited signal. No base stations, no buried wire, no complicated setup.
