Frequently Asked Questions
- How do GPS cattle ear tags work?
- Our GPS cattle ear tags attach to the animal's ear like a traditional ear tag but include GPS tracking technology. They transmit location data at regular intervals via cellular or satellite networks, allowing you to monitor your herd's location in real-time through a mobile app or web dashboard.
- Do I need WiFi or internet at my ranch?
- No. Our cellular products use built-in 4G LTE modems, and satellite products use satellite networks. You only need internet access on your phone or computer to view the data through our app or web portal.
- How long do the batteries last?
- GPS cattle ear tags last about 10 years because they are solar powered. Water tank monitors last 3-6 years and use 2 D-cell user-replaceable batteries. Electric fence monitors also last 3-6 years with the same 2 D-cell user-replaceable batteries.
- Is installation difficult?
- Installation is simple and takes 15-30 minutes. Water monitors mount on tank tops, GPS tags attach like standard ear tags, and fence monitors clip onto fence wire. No special tools or technical expertise required.
- Do you offer volume discounts?
- Yes, we offer tiered volume discounts when purchasing multiple units. The more devices you purchase, the greater the discount.
