Latest releases
eShepherd keeps getting better while it is out on your animals. New features land in the apps and on the neckband itself, with no hardware to swap.
Featured releaseOCT 2026
A virtual fence that advances automatically, releasing fresh pasture at the pace you set. Draw a line in the web app and choose Creep Line, Strip Grazing or Back Fence. Eligibility conditions apply.
Temporarily unfenced animals now show tally marks on their map icon, with a matching map layer filter so you can find them at a glance.
Set where a neckband shows on the map using a saved landmark, your phone's GPS or the current map view. Handy for neckbands that have stopped communicating and are stuck on their last seen spot.
Stock classes now build themselves from stock type, age and pregnancy status, each with its own colour and shape. Edit several animals at once and customise any class.
Neckbands tagged faulty by support now show a no entry icon on the map and have their own layer filter. Faulty animals come out of their mob until the fault is cleared, and Tracks still work.
Upload your own map layers, like paddock plans or property boundaries, as GeoJSON, KML or KMZ files to see them on the map for reference.
A wider top strap for bulls from about 500 kg that swaps onto an existing neckband, keeping the chain in place and stopping the strap from flipping on a thicker neck. Sold in packs of four.
Animals and mobs show an L plate while they learn the virtual fence and a graduation hat once they respond to the audio tone alone, on the map and in the Animal and Mob menus.
Moving animals between mobs, removing them from a mob or deleting a mob now updates their Virtual Paddock automatically.
The eShepherd web app just got better, with faster navigation, cleaner screens, and a more powerful way to run your operation.
A new Gallagher login page for the web app. Sign in with your existing email and password, and get back in with one click after a break.
Create mobs and move animals into them using lasso selection on the mobile app.
Push notification alerts when a neckband battery reaches flat or critical levels. Alerts also appear on the Notifications page.
Move animals between mobs directly from the app, see unassigned animals under a new No Mob group, and pair an HR0 over Bluetooth.
New border styles for Virtual Paddocks to clearly distinguish their status at a glance.
View an animal's movement track in the mobile app, with audio cue and pulse markers along the way on Cellular properties. Shows the last 24 hours by default, with an adjustable time range.
Add and view freeform notes on individual animal records from both card and list views.
Draw and reshape Virtual Paddocks from the mobile app while you're out in the paddock, with points that snap to existing fence lines.
Inactive Virtual Paddocks now show a yellow dashed border, so active and inactive VPs are easy to tell apart on any map.
Move inactive Virtual Paddocks into In Storage to keep your VP list and map tidy. Handy for seasonal setups.
Quickly find any Virtual Paddock by typing its name, with instant filtering as you type.
Refreshed animal cards, map layers, and VP colours on mobile to match the web app.
Duplicate an existing Virtual Paddock on mobile to reuse layouts without starting fresh. The app is also now available in French, Italian, Greek and Portuguese.
Switch between table, card, and detailed card views for animal and neckband lists.
Create and edit scheduled mob moves and watering points directly from the mobile app while out in the paddock.
Neckbands store two Virtual Paddock configurations and switch to the next scheduled VP on time, even when out of coverage.
Neckbands update over the air and the apps update themselves, so you get each new capability without lifting a finger.
