Virtual fence user guide on Rangelands Gateway: practical insights for prospective users

On the Ground • Virtual fence (VF) is an increasingly appealing precision livestock technology that allows land managers to remotely monitor and manage animal movement with a combination of auditory and electrical cues that originate from a wearable device, often a collar. • The VF User Guide ( https://rangelandsgateway.org/vf ) is a digital resource created within the Rangelands Partnership's Rangelands Gateway website to provide prospective VF users with vendor-neutral, unbiased, and realistic information on VF adoption based on real-world field applications. • Resources include factsheets, articles, learning modules, early adopter videos, decision support tools, webinar recordings, handouts, and supplemental materials. • As VF technology evolves, ongoing collaboration is needed to expand accessible VF resources to help prospective users make informed decisions when considering VF adoption.
