Better grazing with virtual fencing
Why choose virtual fencing?
Track cattle movement, dictate grazing behavior and establish an easy-to-manage rotational grazing strategy — all while eliminating the need for internal physical fence lines and supporting sustainability.
Virtual fencing helps improve production
OPTIMIZE
grazing patterns to increase
herd productivity
AUTOMATE
to set and schedule
boundaries remotely
REDUCE
time, labor, and material and
supplemental feed costs
INCREASE
stocking density
of the herd
Virtual fencing helps you track herd
location and movement
Get real-time information about
the location of each animal
View green/yellow/red status of each
animal based on their movement and activity
Get heat map analysis that shows
the grazing track of each animal
“See” your herd’s location and movement
at any time, regardless of time of day or weather conditions
Virtual fencing helps improve grazing
land health and the environment
Reduce soil erosion and improve forage and water quality with managed grazing
Simplify management of difficult terrain and public/protected land
Protect wildlife corridors, areas near water sources, and other sensitive land
Aid soil
carbon sequestration
Rotational grazing
Rotational grazing improves soil health and grassland management, but it’s often cost-prohibitive due to the materials and labor costs. Virtual fencing makes rotational grazing achievable and affordable.
In fact, Vence’s sustainability advantages align with federal programs that support producers’ efforts to implement conservation practices on working lands.
Watch this presentation from Dr. Joel Yelich, Sr. Acct. Mgr., Scientific Sales Affairs for Vence, formerly a senior researcher at the University of Idaho, from the 2025 Society of Range Management (SRM) conference. Dr. Yelich discusses how virtual fencing helped address the challenges of post-wildfire range management and grazing.
Using Virtual Fencing Technology to Rescue Cattle in a Blizzard
“These are once-in-a-generation storms” was the common phrase used across the news media covering the blizzard conditions in South Dakota—and over much of the northern United States—in December 2022. Snow drifts…
