Halter has launched direct-to-satellite connectivity for its smart cattle collars, removing the need for cell towers or on-ranch infrastructure.
Using Starlink, the system allows ranchers to manage cattle anywhere with a clear view of the sky. The update expands access to virtual fencing for operations in remote areas and comes amid labor shortages and rising costs. Halter estimates the technology could expand its U.S. market reach by 2.5 times.
The release also includes new tools for heat detection, animal behavior monitoring and pasture management. Features include mapping, grazing controls and feed demand tracking. The company said the update is designed to improve decision-making and operational efficiency across pasture-based cattle systems. Interested ranchers can learn more at halterhq.com/beef.
