Virtual fencing vs polywire: Real time and labor savings on a Montana cattle ranch

Bart and Wendy Morris run Oxbow Cattle Company in Missoula, Montana. Wendy was skeptical about virtual fencing at first, but after seeing it in action, she says it's exceeded all expectations and improved their quality of life. In this video, you'll hear: • How they're saving hundreds of hours by eliminating 2-3 miles of polywire setup • Why flexibility matters when springs dry up and water changes constantly • Grazing challenging topography that was impossible with physical fence • Winter grazing without fighting frozen ground • How easy cow training actually was (way simpler than expected) • Managing shifts over long distances and finding sick animals instantly on the app • Calmer, less stressed cattle compared to polywire days Want to see if Halter could work on your ranch?
