Stream 01 · Health Monitoring
Temperature intelligence, sized to your herd.
These packages focus on continuous rumen temperature monitoring and the alerts, trends and workflows that can be built from that signal. GeoLocation is not included in these packages.
Choose a starting configuration or build your own. Final bolus and gateway quantities are tailored to your herd, terrain and coverage needs. Request a personalized quote.
Health Monitoring answers:
Which animals are showing a temperature change that deserves a closer look?
Stream 02 · GeoLocation + Health
Know which animal needs attention - and where it is.
GeoLocation deployments add location intelligence to health monitoring. Because position depends on gateway geometry and ranch layout, every GeoLocation system starts with a minimum of 3 Herd IQ™ GeoLocation Gateways.

Minimum starting networkHerd IQ™ GeoLocation Gateways
Geo Foundation begins with three gateways. Larger packages increase gateway count with herd size, and complex ranch layouts may require additional gateways.

Which stream?
Health monitoring or GeoLocation + Health?
The easiest way to choose is to decide whether you only need to know who deserves attention, or also need the system to help tell you where that animal is.

Deployment inputs
What do we need to know about your ranch?
Package size starts with animal count. A good deployment plan also considers where cattle spend time and how the gateway network will reach the platform.
Herd & pastures
How many animals you want monitored, where they normally graze and which areas matter most.
Power options
Where gateway sites can be powered and which locations require a different site plan.
Backhaul connectivity
Available internet or cellular paths at candidate gateway locations and known dead zones.
Terrain & ranch map
Elevation, obstructions, buildings, pasture boundaries and known problem areas help shape gateway placement.
Deployment planning
Not sure which system fits?
Send us your herd size and ranch map. We can discuss whether Health Monitoring is enough or whether GeoLocation adds meaningful value for your operation.
Health Monitoring
Best when your priority is continuous temperature visibility and knowing which animals deserve a closer look.
Explore health monitoring →GeoLocation + Health
Best when cattle are spread over enough country that finding the right animal is part of the problem. GeoLocation systems begin with three Herd IQ™ GeoLocation gateways.
