One ranch · One working view
Turn scattered signals into clear priorities.
Health monitoring is useful when it changes what you do next. Wandering Shepherd connects in-animal sensing, ranch connectivity and a practical dashboard so crews know which animal deserves attention—and where to start looking.
02 · LOCATION
Know where to start looking.
Bring monitored cattle, grazing areas and alerts onto one ranch map so the right trip starts in the right direction.
Explore location tracking →03 · WORKFLOW
Use technology without changing how you ranch.
Designed around cattle country: large land bases, hard weather, limited labor and connectivity that is never perfect.
See the cow/calf solution →How it works
From inside the animal to action in the pasture.
Four practical layers keep the system understandable. Each one has a job; together they turn livestock data into a ranch workflow.
Step 01
Rumen bolus
An ingestible sensor provides temperature and activity signals from inside the animal.
Step 02
Herd IQ™
Ranch-ready infrastructure moves livestock data across the deployment.
Step 03
Ranch Hand™
Animal status, map context and configured alerts meet in one working view.
Step 04
Ranch action
You decide what needs checking, where to go and what deserves priority.
Ranch Hand™ Dashboard
Software that starts with the ranch map.
A dashboard should help you make the next decision—not give you another screen to manage.
- See monitored animals and groups on a map
- Review temperature and activity trends
- Surface boundary and animal alerts
- Work from phone, tablet or desktop

Ranch experience is part of the product.
Wandering Shepherd is shaped by real cow/calf work, not just software requirements. That matters when a product has to survive seasons, distance, mud, livestock and limited labor.
Field context, not just feature lists.
Use measured ranch deployments and documented limitations as the evidence base as field data grows.
