Virtual fencing introduced for grazing Mendip cows
The virtual Nofence system is controlled via an app
The Nofence system works via an app and has been introduced at the Mendip Hills in Somerset by the National Trust, where 60 cows at Crook Peak have been given solar-powered GPS collars. Lilly Dawson, Mendip Project Manager for the National Trust, said: "It's amazing really. It's revolutionising our job."It is hoped the use of the technology, which is funded by the Mendip Landscape Project and the National Grid, will keep cattle away from busy areas and direct them to graze in areas where rangers can monitor the impact on the protected limestone grassland.
It also means Rich Brinson, grazier on Crook Peak, can respond to welfare concerns much quicker as the app alerts him when there is a problem and he can use its GPS to locate the animal.
