improving land use and herd management. Heavy-duty woven wire and electric fencing options ensure reliable containment, offering strength and flexibility for various environments.
Whether upgrading existing infrastructure or seeking new solutions, these enclosures enhance security, reduce labor demands and improve overall livestock management.
Double J Manufacturing Free Standing Corral Panels
Built for strength and convenience, 24-foot free standing corral panels provide a reliable and long-lasting solution for livestock enclosures. Designed to replace traditional wooden corrals, these panels eliminate the need for posts, offering a hassle-free setup that saves time and labor. The self-standing structure is engineered for stability, with a leg design that prevents tipping, ensuring a secure enclosure for cattle and other livestock.

Gallagher Virtual Fencing System
The eShepherd virtual fencing system is a GPS-enabled, solar-powered livestock management tool designed to replace traditional physical fences. The system uses a neckband worn by cattle that delivers audio cues and, if necessary, mild electrical pulses to guide animal movement within virtual boundaries. Farmers can establish, adjust or remove these boundaries remotely via a digital interface, providing flexibility for rotational grazing and land conservation.
By eliminating the need for fixed fencing, the eShepherd system allows for more efficient pasture utilization and reduces labor and maintenance costs associated with traditional fencing. It continuously monitors cattle movement, sending real-time data to farmers to improve herd management and ensure animals remain within grazing zones. This approach supports precision grazing strategies, reducing overgrazing and optimizing pasture regeneration.
The technology adapts to various terrains and farm layouts, making it suitable for both large- and small-scale operations. With real-time monitoring, farmers can track animal behavior and health, addressing issues before they become serious. Virtual fencing also minimizes the impact on wildlife and landscapes by reducing the need for permanent structures, offering an alternative for landowners seeking to balance agricultural productivity with environmental sustainability.
