That could be the big difference. Our herd was for beef which is definitely a lot more hands off vs dairy farming.

Yea the cost of these, single digit dollars per head per month, really only works out on intensive farms.

Halter are moving into the US market, but I’m not sure what the value prop is for ranches.

My brother loves it though. It cut costs including farm bike costs as they’re no longer idling a bike behind them on the lane.

This applies well enough with beef. You still want to maximize pasture rotation and quick moves improve feed quality and speeds recovery between grazing.
