Sheldon Archibald
Co-Founder & President of Wandering Shepherd, bringing more than 40 years of cow/calf production experience and the perspective of an active 300-pair operation into product development.
Ranch experience behind the product.
Wandering Shepherd is designed around the realities of extensive cattle operations: large land bases, weather, terrain, limited labor and connectivity that is never perfect. Sheldon brings that operating context into product decisions and field evaluation.
His background also includes livestock genetics and international cattle-industry experience, adding a producer's perspective to how monitoring technology should fit normal ranch workflows.

Active operating context used to pressure-test ranch workflows.
What that changes about the product
Practical deployment
Gateway locations and workflows have to make sense on working ground, not only on a lab bench.
Useful alerts
Monitoring earns its place when it helps decide which animal or pasture deserves attention first.
Simple adoption
The technology should fit existing cattle work instead of forcing a ranch crew to redesign every routine.
