Cattle location tracking

Spend Less Time Searching for Cattle

Use a map-first ranch workflow to narrow the search for monitored cattle, connect alerts to animal location and prioritize where a crew should go first.

Find cattle faster

Start with the map instead of the whole ranch.

Searching for one animal across multiple pastures can turn a simple check into hours of driving. Wandering Shepherd is designed to show monitored animals and ranch boundaries in a map-first workflow so you can narrow the search before you leave.

Useful location workflows

  • Locate an animal tied to a health alert
  • Identify monitored cattle outside a planned boundary
  • Check a remote group before sending a crew
  • Bring location and health context into the same screen

Location plus health context

A dot on a map is useful. A dot connected to animal status is more useful.

Map pins

See monitored animals or groups in relation to ranch features.

Boundary alerts

Configure ranch boundaries or grazing areas and flag monitored animals that move outside the planned area.

Animal context

Move from a location alert into the related animal record, activity or temperature trend.

Designed for remote pasture realities

Coverage depends on acreage, terrain, gateway placement and the available communications path. A deployment should be planned from the actual ranch layout rather than a generic coverage claim.

This page intentionally uses “cattle location tracking” instead of “GPS cattle tracking.” Use GPS terminology only where the underlying technology actually uses GPS and the location accuracy/specification is documented.
