Gallagher eShepherd™ Use Cases
Whatever country you run cattle on, Gallagher eShepherd™ puts the fence where the grass, the water and the season need it.
Producers use it to get more from the same land, protect the country and get hours back.

Crops, stubbles and winter feed

Fence the lease, not the land

Rotational grazing
The rotation you want is rarely the rotation you can fence. Draw the cells on a phone instead. In Taranaki, George Hardwick-Smith runs ten mobs across 120 cells each in about 40 minutes a week.
