What is Nofence?
Virtual fencing that contains livestock without posts, wire, or physical infrastructure. Here's how.
The Nofence system in short
Each mature animal wears a solar-powered GPS collar. You draw boundaries on your phone, and the collar keeps the animal within them using escalating audio cues and, if needed, a gentle electric pulse. Most animals learn to respond to sound alone within days.
The system runs on GPS and cellular networks. No base stations, no buried wire, no complicated setup.
Core components
Tracks each animal's location and guides it within your boundaries. Solar-powered and built for field conditions.
Draw pastures, adjust boundaries, and monitor your herd from your phone.
GPS keeps boundaries accurate around the clock, independent of cellular coverage. Cellular connectivity syncs updates and sends data back to the app. HerdNet collar-to-collar communication keeps the herd connected even in areas with limited signal.
“We can literally check on the cattle any time we want.”

From boundaries to insights
Drawing pastures
Draw boundaries on your phone and animals learn to respect them within days, responding to audio cues before ever reaching the boundary.
The warning system
As an animal approaches a boundary, audio tones increase in pitch. If it continues, a mild pulse is delivered. Over time, most animals respond to sound alone.
Monitoring
Track every animal's location in real time. Get alerts if something crosses a boundary, spot changes in activity that may indicate a health issue, and use movement data to plan grazing rotations.
“I’ve never herded cows from my phone before, but one day two cows got out onto an island in the river. I set a new boundary and watched them come back across. That saved us hours of chasing.”
