The eShepherd neckband
Solar-powered. GPS-precise. Worn for years.
One device per animal, fitted in the yard, then it just works. The neckband is the front door to the eShepherd operating system, every animal, every paddock, on one platform.
Is it a collar?
Is an eShepherd neckband a GPS cattle collar?
Yes. eShepherd uses the term neckband because the device is fitted around the animal's neck and designed for long-term wear. Many producers search for this category as GPS cattle collars, virtual fencing collars, or smart cattle collars.
