Virtual fencing in Canada: where Halter is today

4
min read

Halter is now available in Canada, starting in southeastern Alberta. Our first ranches there began running Halter this past January, and we've been working closely with them since.

We've kept things small on purpose. Canadian ranchers have asked us about virtual fencin, and we're glad to finally be here. But we want to start with a handful of ranches we can support well, and winter is a big part of that. Those first ranches went live in the cold, and we needed to know Halter held up through a full Canadian winter before we took on more.

What is Halter?

Halter lets you manage your cattle and grass, all from your phone. With solar-powered, satellite-enabled smart collars and a mobile app, Halter puts virtual fencing and shifting, grazing management, herd visibility, and animal behavior insights in your hands. Because our collars connect directly to satellites, ranchers can run Halter on any acre of their ranch, even on country with no service. For most ranchers the biggest wins are reduced labor and operational costs, better grazing efficiency, improved animal performance, and running cattle on ground they couldn't fence before.

Where is Halter available in Canada?

Right now, Halter is available in southeastern Alberta. We're working with the ranches already running it and taking on new ones in the area, and we’re quickly expanding into the rest of Canada. That will change as our Canadian team grows, and we'll keep you posted as new areas open.

If you ranch in Alberta and want to talk, we'd be glad to hear from you. If you're somewhere else in Canada, you can register your interest below so we can keep you updated.

Why is Halter expanding to Canada?

Canadian ranchers run big herds across a lot of country, the same kind of ground where ranchers already run Halter in New Zealand, Australia, and the United States. With Halter, they can fence and graze country they could never wire, all from their phone, and keep tabs on the herd even when it's miles out on leased or remote ground. Because Halter is solar-powered and connects direct-to-satellite, it keeps working well past the reach of any cell service, which on a lot of Canadian ranches can most of the land.

How much does Halter cost in Canada?

Pricing depends on your operation, so there's no single number we can give here. If you want to talk it through, reach out through our contact page and someone on our team will follow up.

What's next for Halter in Canada?

We'll keep growing, but only as fast as we can support the ranches we take on. That means hiring more people in Canada and opening new areas as we're ready. We can't give a timeline yet, but we'll let you know as things open up.

How do I get Halter for my ranch in Canada?

If you're a Canadian rancher and Halter sounds like a fit, we'd like to hear from you. Fill out our contact form and tell us about your ranch. We can't promise we'll be in your area soon, but every rancher who reaches out helps us plan where to go next, and we'll let you know when we get there.
