Our findings demonstrate how data from virtual fencing systems could provide valuable insights for farmers and graziers, potentially leading to improved production efficiencies or conservation outcomes. 5/5

We also demonstrate how space-use, cumulative and average activity levels 🐄, and localised temperature 🌡 across a study site can be spatially mapped and analyzed over time. 4/5

We show that Nofence® activity index measurements correlate strongly with direct in-situ observations of cattle grazing intensity. 3/5

Virtual fencing systems track not only animal location but also activity levels and environmental data, but these data are often not presented in an easy-to-interpret format. 📈 2/5

Identifying the location, intensity, and frequency of grazing is important for management. 1/5
