Grazing without limits. Ranching without boundaries. Unlock the full potential of every acre with Vence virtual fencing — the smarter way to manage your cattle herd. Vence is a virtual fencing livestock management system for cattle. Vence ranchers are able to use the app to manage their herd from anywhere, create virtual fences to dictate grazing behavior, and monitor animal location and movement in real-time. Each cow wears a Vence collar, which contains a global positioning system (GPS) transceiver that tracks its position and a radio frequency (RF) transceiver that communicates with solar powered Vence base stations. Using our Vence software suite, you can define the boundaries of the virtual fence line. The lines can be endlessly redrawn to include or exclude specific areas, accommodate rotational grazing and protect environmentally sensitive land. Cut costs. Conserve resources. Control grazing across even the toughest terrain with virtual fencing that combines real-time herd data with powerful, hands-off precision. Profit, sustainability, and efficiency — all in one system. Vence puts smarter grazing at your fingertips, saving you time, effort, and money compared to traditional fencing. Ready to transform your ranch? Learn more at VenceFence.com.
