Welcome to Wandering Shepherd
Wireless Rumen Bolus
Our Wireless Rumen Bolus monitors the temperature of your livestock, telling you when your livestock are in the breeding and calving cycles, early illness detection up to 48 hours before physical signs appear like droopy ears or watery eyes, when they are pregnant and even when they have been drinking water.
Two Powerful Options - Built for Any Operation
Advanced communication technology to ensure reliable data transmission from anywhere. It connects via a long-range terrestrial radio network that covers tens of miles—even in remote rural areas—and supports integration with other farm IoT tools like soil sensors and water monitors.
For producers in the most isolated locations, our satellite option sends temperature data directly to orbit, providing 100% global coverage without the need for ground infrastructure.
Taking Temperature is time consuming
Save Time in physically checking on your herd
Save Money in labor costs associated with taking temperature manually
Reduce Stress on livestock resulting in a better quality beef product
Receive alerts notifying you when to take action
Get alerts to any Internet connected device, even in your vehicle. Alerts are sent every 30 minutes for a slight temperature increase and every 15 minutes for high temperature increase.
Small Breed Livestock
Small enough to fit inside small breed livestock like sheep, goats and newborn calves. Battery last over 10 years sending temperature once per hour.

Ranch Hand Platform
The data is stored in the cloud and is then displayed on the company’s property Ranch Hand app, which enables farms to track their herd health in real time. The landing page of the platform displays all of the producer’s livestock equipped with sensors, and they are able to see current settings as well as any alerts statuses that may be present. When the operator selects a particular animal, they can see the details of that animal and sensor, including temperature history, battery level, location, and other selected data.
