Virtual Fencing: A Game-Changer for Nevada Ranchers - Researchers at the University of Nevada, Reno are revolutionizing cattle management with GPS-based virtual fencing. This innovative system allows ranchers to guide livestock remotely, eliminating the need for traditional fences. The technology not only simplifies the process but also offers environmental benefits, such as protecting sensitive areas, enhancing wildlife habitats, and reducing wildfire risks. The Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the U.S. Forest Service are supporting these efforts. At Maggie Creek Ranch, a large operation spanning nearly a quarter-million acres, the system has proven successful in guiding cattle and combating invasive cheatgrass, a major wildfire risk.
