Why use virtual fencing technology?

Virtual fencing solutions allow customers to increase revenues, reduce expenses and unlock their lands to sustainable grazing land management practices without the burden of increased labor. Users can control the movement and grazing of their animals directly from a smartphone or using a built-in schedule, maximizing the yield of their land and minimizing costs. The virtual fences can be placed anywhere on a property using the Vence smartphone or web app, and customers can employ static or dynamic boundaries to dictate grazing behavior or specify protected areas and waterways.

With virtual fencing, customers can reduce their labor costs by over 25%, as the touch of a finger will rotate cows through pastures or bring them in for milking — no labor, ATVs, or dogs needed. In addition, customers see up to 30% cost savings when they rotationally or strip graze animals, as they maximize the utility of their land. In addition, customers can use the app to get up to date information about the well-being of their animals collected from sensors in the rugged lightweight devices worn by the livestock. It costs hundreds of dollars to miss an estrous cycle, lose a calf during birth, or fail to treat sick or lame animals, and Vence`s actionable alert system can help detect many health issues as they arise.

Why now

By 2050, the world will need to feed more than 10 billion people, requiring a 70% increase in global food production. Animal based protein represents 20% of the global caloric intake and is steadily increasing. We want to reduce the cost of healthy animal protein and use less resources while doing so.
