Join us for a free pasture walk at John Nerganah's cow-calf operation in Chapin, IL — a chance to see Gallagher eShepherd virtual fence collars in action on working pasture ground.

Virtual fence technology is generating a lot of interest among Illinois graziers, and John is putting it to use on his cow-calf operation. The walk will cover how the system works day-to-day, what it takes to get cattle trained to the collars, and how virtual fencing compares to conventional temporary fence for managing rotations.

What we'll cover:

• How Gallagher eShepherd virtual collars work in a cow-calf operation

• Training cattle to the system and day-to-day management

• Using virtual fence to manage rotational grazing without moving physical fence

• Practical pros, cons, and cost considerations from a producer who's using it

• Open Q&A with John

This event is free and open to all Illinois producers.
