Stories from farmers using Halter to farm the way they've always wanted.
More milk, less effort - Halter farmers that'd never go back
" We didn't tail paint at all through the mating period. Didn't pick one bulling cow. We just let the collars do its job, and it worked - we got a 9% empty rate, and a 73% six-week in-calf rate."
Less labour, more milk, and their first holiday in 10 years
"We dropped a labor unit and we were doing the same amount of work, if not more, in less time. That's when we knew that Halter could really work for us."
Doubling stock units on hill country with Halter
“We've gone from 9 and a half stock units to 18 stock units effectively on our hills. That is a real game changer for our farm, and we see it as a game changer for lots of hill country around New Zealand.”
Setting up Halter: The journey
"It’s absolutely amazing technology—being able to shift the cows from my phone, remove break fences, and manage everything virtually. I can’t wait to see how much time and effort this saves us on the farm."
Balancing farm productivity, sustainability and work-life balance
"They're split second decisions as you're driving along, and they take 30 seconds to make the change, and you just keep going to your next job."
Making the most of every blade of grass
“We've got two farms, one doesn't have Halter and one does. Both farms are very similar size, same amount of cows. And I think the Halter farm is running 20% ahead of the other farm. Will I roll out on the other farm? Yeah, I probably will do.”
Training cows on Halter - how do they know what to do?
"That is flipping amazing. You can clearly see a line... they’ve walked through it, but they’ll get turned back."
Legacy meets innovation for beef farmers
“I was quite skeptical... but after a week, you could tell it was just gonna be amazing. We're going to gain around about a 15 kilo weaning weight gain."
Improved efficiency & control
“With Halter, I can make quicker decisions and have more control over every aspect of my farm.”
30-50x return on investment
“My return from Halter is somewhere between 30 and 50 to one.”
Reduced labour costs with enhanced efficiency
“With Halter, we’ve reduced our labour units and improved overall farm management.”
Boosted profitability with efficient pasture & herd management
“We increased our profitability by 20% while maintaining operating costs.”
Efficient land management & animal care
“With Halter, I can look after my land and animals 24/7, ensuring the best future for my farm.”
Precision and efficiency in crop utilisation
“The accuracy Halter provides day-to-day, week-to-week, is incredible—we’ve unlocked value we didn’t know was possible.”
Flexibility & resilience are essential for future farming
“We don’t know what the future holds, but we must be prepared to adapt and respond to challenges.”
Halter has given me back my time and reduced my stress
“Since using Halter, my workload is less, I’m less stressed, and I spend more quality time with my kids.”
Managing both my farm and family life are now possible
“With Halter, a three-person job is now doable by just one person. It’s made my lifestyle as a farmer and mum so much more manageable.”
Saves us hours every day, rain or shine
“With Halter, I can shift cows and set up breaks in seconds, all from my phone. No more late-night runs in wet weather gear.”
“It’s so simple to make that virtual fence line, we are grazing to a more consistent residual and getting better regrowth behind. I would say we are saving 3 hours of labour a day…and we are going to get 15kg weaning weight gain.”
