In late January, 125 ranchers, land managers, and conservationists gathered in Cody, Wyoming, for the Wyoming Virtual Fence Symposium. The event was a catalyst for change, bringing folks together to explore the potential of virtual fencing (VF) in revolutionizing livestock management, conservation efforts, and rangeland health.

Virtual fencing is an up-and-coming technology designed to reduce labor for livestock producers, enhance rangeland health, and potentially reduce the number of fences crisscrossing the private and public grazing lands around the world.
