How does Halter work?
Halter uses a system that enhances good stockmanship, guiding cattle with sound and vibration. Predictable cues keep cows calm and make the system simple and reliable for ranchers.
- Sound is the primary directional cue. When a cow crosses the virtual boundary, sound comes out of the left side of the collar to guide right, and the right side to guide left to bring them back into the fenced area. Sound increases in frequency (similar to a car backing up) the longer the cow ignores the cue. If the sound cues are ignored, a low energy electric pulse is used to get the cow’s attention.
- Vibration cues let cows know it’s time to shift. When a new virtual break is set next to their current one, the collar vibrates when the cow is facing the right direction. It’s a gentle nudge that says, “fresh feed ahead.” There’s no pulse with this cue, so cows can move at their own pace.
