Allocate the exact amount of feed per cow every day with virtual fencing
No matter the pre-grazing cover, mob size or paddock size. With Halter, we’ll tell you how many kilograms of dry matter you’re allocating per cow with every break you draw.
"The ability to be able to draw a fence, see how many kgs of dry matter you’re feeding the cows, and know that that is very accurate is just giving us an amazing level of control you just can’t have at a large scale like us"

“The flexibility of farming with Halter has enabled me to be a better pasture farmer”
James, Bay of Plenty
As many mobs as you want, without the effort
Extra mobs aren’t any extra hassle with automatic shifting and virtual fencing.
An average sized Halter farm runs six mobs. Some run as many as fifteen at a time.
Prioritise your first calvers. Reduce competition with a heifer mob. Hold your fats tighter. Ad lib your non-cyclers. Feed each mob to their specific needs so that there’s less trade offs between grass and cows. All without any extra labour.
“We went to 5 mobs over winter this season, which would have been impossible without Halter. This meant that we managed cow condition better, there was less pasture damage and better pasture utilisation”
Nathan Bluett | + 15,000 kgMS and +10% 6WICR
The average Halter farmer saves 27.5 hrs/wk
Many save over 40 hrs/wk
With Halter, you won’t need to spend time managing break fences or shifting the cows. That’s 27 extra hours to focus on more critical tasks, or 27 extra hours to spend with the family.
“I'm spending more time on the key drivers of the dairy business that drive the business performance like pasture management, monitoring cows in the paddock, cow BCS and mating management”
Dan Blair, Canterbury | Improved 6WICR by 6%
90% of the time we spend with our kids in our lifetime is before they turn 18.
