Nofence for cattle 

Add some more introduction to farming with cattle

Nofence system works best for the following setups: 

Beef Meat production

You intent to use collars on: 

  • Beef cattle
  • Replacement stock
  • Steers
  • Heifers

Grazing method

  • Extensive grazing (few pasture moves, large areas)
  • Managed grazing is possible with excellent mobile coverage

Conservation Conservation grazing

Herd size: 5-100 heads
Animals have strong herd mentality, and they are less likely to escape when in a group, and if they do, they will return to be with the herd.
If you have more animals than 100, we would recommend splitting herd to a smaller group, and start with lower quantity of collars. 

Main farm operation
  • Beef production
  • Heifers
  • Conservation grazing

Grazing method

  • Best suited for extensive grazing (few pasture moves, large areas)
  • Managed grazing is possible with excellent mobile coverage

diary Dairy production

Nofence is not suitable for milking cows
Our collars are currently not designed for use on milking cows because their daily routine requires regular movement between pasture and the milking parlor. This predictable and repeated path cannot be reliably managed with virtual fencing alone, which makes it difficult to ensure consistent access without compromising containment or safety.

Although your main farm operation is dairy production,  you can still use Nofence on:

  • Dry cows
  • Heifers
  • Sucker herds (only on adult animals)

It is important that those are separated from the milking cows and graze on a paddock away from them.

Nofence might not be the best fit for you if

  • You are not a professional farmer.
  • You rely on intensive, frequently changing paddock systems.
  • Your pasture has no mobile coverage, and you need real-time alerts.
  • You’re not comfortable handling animals individually.
  • You only want to collar part of the herd.
  • You’re not okay with the idea of a few calves wandering or animals occasionally testing the boundary.

We are aware, that every farm is unique and doesn't necessarily checks all of the criteria's above. If you think, Nofence would be a good solution for you, we encourage you to fill out the qualification form, and our sales team will contact you to disscuss your farm setup.

Successful grazing with Nofence

At Nofence, we're proud to offer the world's first virtual fencing solution for grazing animals. But just like any tool, it works best when it’s used in the right hands and the right context. If you're considering joining the growing community of farmers using Nofence, here’s what you need to know about who succeeds with it—and why.

Key success factors

You raise cattle, sheep, or goats
Nofence is specifically designed for these grazing animals. While we love horses and other livestock, our collars are not built or tested for any other species.
You have reliable cell coverage
Good 2G cellular coverage is essential for receiving updates, changing pastures, and monitoring your animals through the app. The fence will still work without coverage—but you won’t get alerts or live data until connectivity is restored.
You have a smartphone and use it regularly
The Nofence app runs on Apple and Android devices. If you're already using your phone for farm tools or everyday tasks, you’ll feel right at home.
 You’re a registered farm business *DOES NOT APPLY TO THE US-remove note when publishing
We only work with legally registered U.S. farm businesses. That means you’ll need an EIN (Employer Identification Number) or equivalent, and the person placing the order must also be the one using and paying for the collars.
You’re comfortable managing your herd hands-on.
This isn’t a "set-it-and-forget-it" solution. It is important that you will have to: 
  • Replace collars or charge batteries when needed
  • Monitor herd behavior through the app
  • Respond quickly to alerts or changes
You use an extensive grazing system
Nofence shines in larger pastures with minimal changes to boundaries. If you're working with a fixed paddock system and frequent moves, our product may not be the right fit.
You collar the whole herd (adults only)
All adult animals in your herd must be collared. We don’t yet offer calf collars. Calves will generally stay with their mothers, but they may wander. You need to be okay with that—and plan accordingly.
You understand the boundaries—literally
Nofence is not a physical barrier. Animals can escape, especially if frightened. You’ll need to assess whether additional fencing is needed and be prepared for what happens if collars run out of battery or malfunction. It’s your land. Your animals. Your responsibility.
