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.”
