How to move animals using eShepherd

In this video, you’ll learn how to move animals to new pastures using the eShepherd system, a method that leverages feed to encourage animals to transition to fresh grazing areas.


Here’s an overview of the process:

  1. Current Containment: Animals are initially kept within a designated virtual paddock.
  2. Pasture Depletion: Once the pasture is grazed down to the desired residual level, it’s time to move the animals.
  3. Expanding the Virtual Fence: Create a new virtual fence that encompasses both the current area and an adjacent, fresh pasture.
  4. Natural Transition: As the animals seek more feed, they’ll naturally venture into the fresh pasture.
  5. Securing the Transition: Once most animals have moved, bring in the back fence to prevent them from returning to the grazed area.


This video will guide you step-by-step on how to accomplish this using the eShepherd Web App, along with helpful tips and cautions on what to expect and what to avoid.
