Series 2 Episode 1: Virtual Fencing – Opportunity to return suckler cows to the hills

Virtual Fencing is still a novel technology for many Scottish Farmers but there is increasing interest. Four of the Monitor Farmers are trialling this technology to look at cost benefit analysis; potential labour savings and opportunities to get cows back to areas of ground previously ungrazed due to lack of fencing and ability to monitor cattle. The project is aiming to delve into the people and financial elements of these systems. Wallace is joined by two of our project partners to discuss! Ann Elinor Aasen has the fantastic job title of ‘Head of Farmer Success’ with Monil, a virtual fencing supplier. Dr Tony Waterhouse is a virtual fencing expert and is the independent consultant on the podcast.
