Cover Story: Large grazers are essential for nature conservation. In order to prevent grazers from moving to unintended areas, it may be necessary to keep them inside enclosures. This has traditionally been done using physical barriers, such as electric fences. These types of fences are widespread, but they do present a number of problems, such as fragmenting the landscape. Virtual fencing, however, is a possible replacement for physical fencing, making it possible to enclose grazers without physical boundaries. Virtual fencing systems rely on GPS technology to keep animals within enclosures by deterring escapes using auditory warnings and electric impulses. This study examines the effectiveness of one such system in a rotational strip grazing regime with 17 Angus bull calves. View this paper
