The eShepherd neckband
Solar-powered. GPS-precise. Worn for years.
One device per animal, fitted in the yard, then it just works. The neckband is the front door to the eShepherd operating system — every animal, every paddock, on one platform.
Is it a collar?
Is an eShepherd neckband a GPS cattle collar?
Yes. eShepherd uses the term neckband because the device is fitted around the animal's neck and designed for long-term wear. Many producers search for this category as GPS cattle collars, virtual fencing collars, or smart cattle collars.
