I recently saw a brilliant new device for livestock that works similar to "invisible fencing" for dogs.

The animals wear a collar, that starts beeping when the animal gets close to the boundary, and then delivers a shock if the animal continues to get even closer.

The difference is, the new technology is based on the owner setting the boundaries by GPS on a map. No fencing required! Basically, you can create a "lot" of any dimensions, and the goats would stay inside the boundaries.

This would potentially provide an almost infinitely variable way of fencing goats (or sheep) to graze unwanted vegetation on any portion of your property.

I created this new thread specifically thinking about responses to the "mowing too close to a dangerous edge" thread.

However, I am sure the members can come up with many other more beneficial applications. Please feel free for anyone with more knowledge of these types of products to add additional information to this thread, OR people (like Fire Is Hot) that have lots of goat experience can also add to this thread.



P.S. The collar technology is kind of expensive right now, and some companies require a monthly subscription fee. I assume costs will decline in the future.
