CSIRO's Food Futures National Research Flagship has developed a prototype virtual fence for cattle and you can learn more about the project by watching this video. (2:30)
CSIRO's Food Futures Flagship is using satellite technology to develop a virtual fence for livestock that allows better use of pasture, protects the environment and reduces labour.
The project is focussed on developing an animal-friendly virtual fencing system that enables the animals to be confined without using fixed fences. So far the research team has developed a prototype system and successfully demonstrated its use on a herd of cattle.
This video demonstrates the system and includes brief interviews with the CSIRO researchers:
