## What is FarmRanger?

Livestock theft? Predator attacks?

The FarmRanger app works along with FarmRanger Livestock Security Collars to generate alarms on the livestock farmer's mobile phone in the event of theft or predator attacks. The GPS position and movement of the animals are shown on a map, and the farmer can act quickly to prevent damage.

The system is used on sheep, cattle, goats and horses. There is no need for installing field stations, as the GSM network is used. The collar is waterproof, with a rechargeable battery (3 months battery life typically).

FarmRanger (previously known as Celmax) has been a reliable and proven name for livestock security collars in South Africa and Namibia for more than 15 years. The app is available to all new FarmRanger clients, and also existing clients with GPS-enabled collars.
