Nofence for sheep and goats

Virtual fencing that works wherever your animals graze. From your own pastures to contract sites, steep terrain to solar farms, manage it all from your phone.

“It's very versatile. You can adjust it to the seasons and what's going on that week, that day.”

Less fence work, more grazing

The time and effort of moving fence can limit what you're able to do. Virtual fencing removes that constraint

Eliminate fence setup and teardown

Define boundaries in the app and start grazing. When it's time to move the flock, adjust boundaries in seconds. No electric netting, no polywire, no kit to haul between sites.

Work in challenging terrain

Steep hillsides, moorland, dense scrub, and rocky ground that would never justify traditional fencing all become accessible. Nofence works where physical fences struggle.

Manage multiple sites remotely

Check animals in the morning, adjust boundaries at lunch, and respond to alerts from anywhere. Balance contract grazing work, off-farm commitments, and daily operations without being tied to one location.

Scale without the infrastructure

Traditional fencing puts a ceiling on growth. The time, labour, and logistics of moving fence keep enterprises small. Virtual fencing removes that ceiling. Take on more contract grazing, work across more sites, and grow your flock without adding infrastructure.

Your flock, always in sight

Know where every animal is through continuous GPS tracking. If one crosses a boundary, you get an alert straight away. For contract grazers working on public land or conservation sites, that visibility is essential. For farmers balancing family life and multiple sites, it changes everything.

Check on your animals from wherever you are, and know you'll be notified if something needs attention.

"The technology offers a valuable tool for more efficient and flexible sheep management."

How it works

Each animal wears a solar-powered GPS collar. You draw virtual boundaries on your phone, and livestock learn to respect them within days, eventually responding to the audio warning alone.

The system runs on GPS satellites and mobile networks, with HerdNet™ keeping collars connected in areas with limited signal. No base stations, no buried cables, no complicated setup.
