Frequently asked questions

How is Halter's beef product different to what you've built for dairy farms?

After 10 years of developing virtual fencing and remote shifting technology for dairy farms, we've taken these learnings and built a dedicated product for beef operations.

We worked closely with partnership farms and industry to understand the unique challenges beef farms face, and launched our easy to use virtual fencing and remote shifting as a result. Just like with dairy, we'll continue to add to our features, based on the feedback we get from beef farmers.

How do the collar cues work for beef cattle?

Beef cattle are trained to the Halter system over 7 to 10 days. Once cattle are trained, they respond primarily to sound and vibration cues.


When cattle are grazing within a virtual break, they do not receive any collar cues. If they step outside of the break, a sound cue will play from either the right or left side of the collar, directing them away from the sound and back into the virtual break.

If they ignore the sound cues, they will receive a low-energy electric pulse (1/10th of the regulated maximum energy of an electric fence) which leads them to step back into the virtual break area.

When it’s time to shift to their next break, a vibration cue will let cattle know when they’re facing the right direction (i.e. towards the new break), which encourages them to move to the fresh grass.

Please note that Halter's collar cues for dairy cows are different to those used for beef cattle.

What connectivity do I need on my farm to use Halter?

Our system is designed for remote locations. It uses solar-powered towers that don’t need cell coverage, providing reliable performance no matter where your farm is located.

What animals can I collar with Halter?

Only cattle. No sheep, goats or horses sorry!

How are Halter collars and towers different from other systems?

Halter collars and towers are the result of nearly 10 years of research and development.

Dual speakers deliver clear left–right sound cues and a vibration confirms which direction to walk, so cattle quickly learn predictable, controllable guidance. The solar-powered panels are on the top of the collar, where they get maximum light exposure across the day. That position helps keep collars charged more reliably through short winter days and shaded grazing.

Halter towers are solar-powered and easy to install, giving you full-property coverage so collars can always receive instructions and transmit data.

What support do I get from Halter when I become a customer?

As a Halter farmer, you’ll have a dedicated Territory Manager based in your region. They’ll work with you to make sure you’re getting the most out of the Halter system, with practical guidance and ongoing check-ins.

You’ll also have access to our 24/7 New Zealand-based customer support team via the Halter app. They’ll help with day-to-day questions quickly and general app support.
