Virtual fencing for cattle.
About Halter
Solar-powered collars that herd cattle via cues — replacing fences + farm hands. NZ pioneer expanding to US + Australia.
§ Pitch deck breakdown
How Halter would pitch themselves.
Target customer
Cattle ranchers and dairy farmers in pasture-based systems (NZ, Australia, US Mountain West) managing 500+ head across large acreages.
Problem they solve
Fencing is expensive ($10K+/mile) + immobile. Moving cattle to fresh grazing requires farm hands. Labour shortage + climate-pressure on grazing schedules makes pasture mgmt brittle.
Key differentiator
Smart collar + GPS + mobile app — farmer draws virtual boundaries; cattle get audio cues + mild electric pulse if they cross. Rotational grazing automated.
Go-to-market strategy
Direct sales to large NZ + Australian dairy farms (established beachhead). Cooperative-channel partnerships in US (livestock-association distribution). Subscription pricing per head.
