No! Your pastures don't need any cell or internet coverage. With Tower connectivity, a tower at your farm base (where you have internet or cell service) connects to collars up to 10-15km away. With Satellite, collars communicate directly via satellite—no infrastructure needed anywhere.

Tower is ideal for medium farms under 15km radius where you have internet or cell service at one central location (like your farmhouse). One tower can manage up to 400 animals. Satellite is perfect for large ranches, multiple locations, or operations with no internet access at all—works anywhere on Earth.

Most farms are up and running within a day. Tower setup takes about 2-3 hours, and fitting collars takes just a few minutes per animal. Our team provides remote support during setup, and on-site installation is available for larger operations.

Yes! All collars have both Tower and Satellite radios built-in. You can switch connectivity plans anytime based on your needs—just contact us to update your subscription.

With "Buy it All," you own the hardware outright and pay a lower annual software fee—best for long-term savings. With "Monthly Subscription," you pay little to nothing upfront but have a higher monthly cost that includes everything—best for cash flow flexibility or trying the system first.

Yes! Many agricultural grants cover up to 80% of upfront costs. Our team will help you identify and apply for relevant programs in your region. Visit our Funding page to learn more.

No, all prices are clearly listed. The calculator shows your exact costs. With Tower, the tower is included in your quote. With Satellite, data costs are included in the subscription. No surprise fees.

Absolutely! Many ranchers start with a test herd of 20-50 animals to experience the benefits before scaling up. You can add more collars anytime, and you'll get volume discounts as your herd grows.

Our collars are built for tough ranch conditions. They're waterproof, dustproof, and designed to withstand impacts, scratches, and extreme temperatures from -30°C to +50°C. The solar panels are scratch-resistant and continue working even with surface wear.

With adequate sunlight, the solar panels keep the batteries charged indefinitely. In low-light conditions (winter, heavy forest cover), the batteries can last 2-3 weeks without sun. You'll get alerts if any collar's battery is running low.

Yes, collars are adjustable to fit cattle of various sizes. We offer different collar sizes for calves, heifers, and mature cattle. Let us know your herd composition and we'll ensure you get the right sizes.

For virtual fencing to work effectively, all adult animals in the fenced area need collars. For tracking and health monitoring only, you can collar a portion of the herd. Many customers start with a smaller test group.

You'll get real-time alerts for: animals leaving virtual fence boundaries, potential health issues (unusual activity, temperature changes), animals in heat (estrus detection), low battery warnings, and daily herd summaries. You can customize which alerts you receive.

Our collars use multi-constellation GNSS (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo) for accuracy within 2-5 meters in open areas. Updates are sent every few minutes, with more frequent updates when animals are near virtual fence boundaries.

All plans include email and phone support during business hours. We provide remote troubleshooting, video tutorials, and a knowledge base. For "Buy it All" customers, we offer priority support. On-site support is available for an additional fee.

All collars come with a 2-year warranty covering manufacturing defects and hardware failures. This includes free replacement of faulty units. Extended warranty options (up to 5 years) are available for purchase.

Lost collars can often be located using the last known GPS position. For damaged or lost collars outside warranty, replacement collars are available at a discounted rate for existing customers.

Collars can be transferred to a new owner—just contact us to transfer the subscription. If you sell cattle with collars, the new owner will need their own Ranchflow account. We'll help coordinate the transition.

We accept major credit cards, bank transfers, and can arrange invoicing for larger orders. Subscriptions can be billed monthly or annually. For "Buy it All," we offer payment plans for qualifying customers.
