Halter vs FarmIQ

Halter couples smart collars with an app to empower a future of farming that is more simple and sustainable. Farmers using the Halter app have the ability to set virtual fences for precise pasture management, guide stock around the farm remotely, and receive real-time alerts for their animal's health. Halter’s solar-powered collars use sensory cues to keep dairy and beef stock within a virtual boundary and shift dairy cows to the shed and between paddocks. Advanced stock monitoring systems utilise artificial intelligence to accurately predict dairy cow health and send alerts to farmers when action is required. Leading the way towards a simpler and more sustainable future of farming, Halter increases production while improving farmer and animal wellbeing. Halter includes app features and functionality that are only available on selected packages and differ between Dairy and Beef. See https://www.halterhq.com/our-packages for details.
