The ranch management platform built for direct-to-satellite GPS cattle ear tags. See your herd on a map, monitor animal performance, get calving alerts and track heat cycles.
Know where your highest value animals are. Instead of spending days canvassing and gridding large swaths of land, utilize GPS location data, animal trails and location alerts to locate and recover strays.
Catch grazing and rumination drops that could signal health issues or low feed availability. Utilize seasonal data to help with culling, rotations, and genetic decisions.
Track heat cycles to help improve breeding rates and get calving alerts to know when and where cows are calving.
"We put tags in all our bulls before turning out this summer. With the help of Terra Optics, we were able to recover a stray bull who had wandered off our allotment. He was 2 ridges over from where he should have been and we probably would have lost him without this system. We're planning on more deployments next season."
