Global Satellite Coverage
Track your cattle anywhere on Earth
Our GPS ear tags communicate via satellite networks that blanket most of the inhabited world. No cell towers needed -- if your cattle can see the sky, their location is being tracked.
Coverage is provided by Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellations that are continuously expanding.
Orange shading indicates satellite coverage zones. Your tags work anywhere within these regions with a clear sky view. As new satellites are launched, coverage and transmission frequency improve automatically for existing tags.
Why Choose GPS Cattle Ear Tags?
Stop Wasting Time Searching
Eliminate hours spent driving around looking for cattle. Know exactly where every animal is from your phone. Focus on ranch management instead of cattle location.
Prevent Cattle Loss & Theft
Get alerts when animals breach fence boundaries (triggered at next 6-hour check-in). Track missing cattle with regular location updates. Deter theft with consistent location monitoring and historical movement records.
Works Anywhere
Satellite connectivity means no cell towers required. Track cattle in the most remote locations—deep canyons, wilderness areas, federal land. If you can see the sky, you're connected.
Zero Maintenance
Solar-powered means never charging batteries or replacing them. Weatherproof design handles extreme conditions. Attach once and forget it—it just works.

Common Questions
How long does the solar power really last?
The GPS ear tag is powered by high-efficiency solar cells that charge during daylight. With adequate sun exposure (typical for grazing cattle), the device operates indefinitely without charging or battery replacement. Even on overcast days, the efficient power management system keeps the device running. The integrated solar cells are designed for the outdoor ranch environment and continue working for years.
Will this work in my remote location without cell service?
Yes! The GPS ear tag uses satellite communication—not cellular towers. As long as the device has a clear view of the sky, it will transmit location data from anywhere on Earth. Perfect for remote pastures, wilderness areas, federal grazing land, and locations where cell phones don't work.
Is 30 grams light enough? Will cattle be uncomfortable?
At only 30 grams (about 1 ounce), the GPS ear tag is lightweight and designed specifically for cattle comfort. It uses standard ear tag attachment methods familiar to ranchers. Thousands of cattle wear these tags without any behavioral changes or discomfort. The compact form factor and balanced weight distribution prevent irritation.
How accurate is the GPS location tracking?
The GPS ear tag provides location accuracy within several meters using global satellite positioning. This is more than sufficient for ranch management—you'll know exactly which pasture or area your cattle are in, and can track movement patterns, boundary breaches, and unusual behavior.
What are the ongoing costs? Any subscription fees?
Your purchase includes 3 years of satellite connectivity and full platform access. After the first 3 years, it's only $10/year per ear tag to continue service, covering satellite airtime, cloud hosting, mobile apps, geofencing, alerts, and technical support. All costs are transparent with no hidden fees.
How durable are these in harsh weather conditions?
The GPS ear tag is built for extreme ranch conditions. Weatherproof design rated for -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F). Handles rain, snow, dust, mud, and direct sunlight. The rugged enclosure protects internal electronics while the solar cells are designed to withstand years of outdoor exposure.
Can I track multiple cattle on one dashboard?
Yes! The LST Vita platform lets you monitor your entire herd from one dashboard. View all cattle locations on a single map, create groups, set individual or group geofences, and receive consolidated alerts. The system scales from a few animals to large commercial operations with hundreds of head.
What if an ear tag falls off or is damaged?
While our ear tags use secure attachment methods, lost or damaged tags can happen in ranching. The platform will alert you if a tag stops transmitting. Replacement tags are available, and you can transfer the subscription to a new device. Historical location data is preserved even if a tag is lost.

Total Cost Example: For a 5-year period, you'd pay $220 per tag (which includes 3 years of service) plus 2 additional years at $10/year ($20) = $240 total for 5 years of GPS cattle tracking. Compare that to the cost of time spent searching for lost cattle, fuel for drive-arounds, or the value of a single lost animal. Most ranchers save far more than the system costs.
