Understand the difference

More than a GPS tracker.

GPS ear tags are often a lower-cost way to locate selected animals. Wandering Shepherd is designed as a complete herd health and location system—helping identify which animal may need attention and where to begin looking.

GPS ear tags tell you where an animal is.Wandering Shepherd helps tell you which animal needs attention—and where to find it.

Choose an ear tag when…

Your main goal is lower-cost GPS.

An ear tag may fit when location is the primary need, you want to monitor only a few high-value animals or you prefer connectivity that does not require multiple ranch gateways.
