Elena Chavez, Southern Colorado territory manager for Halter, discussed their virtual fencing technology. Halter, based in Colorado, uses direct-to-satellite technology to manage large, mountainous ranges. The collars, designed for cattle, use auditory and electric cues for containment, and vibrations for positive reinforcement. The collars, made of durable Gorilla Glass, are intended for lifelong use. Halter's service costs $96 per collar per year and includes 24/7 human support. The technology helps producers manage pastures more efficiently, shorten gathering times, and monitor animal movement and distress.
