Description
Please join us Wednesday March 12 from 6-7:30 pm for dinner and a workshop about Virtual Fence. Virtual fence uses invisible barriers, established by Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates, to influence livestock movement without a physical fence. Hear from a rancher and from a recent research project on the benefits, challenges and considerations to learn if this technology can benefit you. Can this technology benefit your operation and does it work in our mountainous or rugged terrain?
