Join us for a chance to see Gallagher eShepherd virtual fence collars in action in the working pasture ground at John Nerganah's cow-calf operation.
Virtual fence technology is generating a lot of interest among Illinois graziers, and John is putting it to use on his cow-calf operation. The walk will cover how the system works day-to-day, what it takes to get cattle trained to the collars, and how virtual fencing compares to conventional temporary fence for managing rotations.
