Virtual Fencing Made More Affordable for Livestock Farmers

Nofence, the first commercial virtual fencing company, is strengthening its presence in the U.S. by reducing prices and extending its warranty. The move supports farmers in adopting innovative livestock management solutions while making the technology more affordable.

Since entering the U.S. market, Nofence has seen rapid growth, with 45 pilot farms testing its GPS-based virtual fencing system and over 100 more farms joining after the 2024 commercial launch. This technology allows farmers to control grazing areas via a mobile app, eliminating the need for traditional fencing.

As part of its expansion, Nofence has lowered its collar prices to $289 for cattle and $199 for sheep and goats. The company is also aligning with USDA’s NRCS program, which offers financial support for virtual fencing adoption under new conservation standards.

Nofence has further increased its product warranty to five years, demonstrating its commitment to quality. With a 99.3% containment rate and extended battery life, farmers can rely on the technology to efficiently manage livestock while enhancing animal welfare.

By reducing costs and extending durability, Nofence is helping more farmers transition to virtual fencing. The company will showcase its system at CattleCon 2025 in San Antonio, Texas, from February 4-6 at Booth #3009.
