Halter
Halter combines GPS cattle collars with web and mobile tools for virtual fencing, remote herd movement, grazing management, and animal monitoring.
Halter helps beef and dairy farmers create virtual fences, move cattle remotely, monitor animal locations, and manage pasture use. Its system combines solar-powered GPS collars, connectivity through satellite or towers, and apps for phones and computers.
Ranchers and farmers use Halter for rotational grazing, herd oversight, pasture planning, heat detection, and behavior monitoring. The site lists Base and Pro packages with monthly or annual plans, but does not publish prices; customers must contact a local representative.
