Farming by Phone: Virtual Fencing Changes Cattle Management

What if you could move your herd with just the tap of a screen? In this episode of From the Farm, Elijah Griles travels to Southwest Virginia to explore how cattle producers are using virtual fencing technology to manage their herds without traditional fences. At Blue Ridge Genetics and Cox Farms Cattle & Grain, farmers are using GPS-enabled collars to rotate grazing, protect sensitive land and maintain healthy pastures—even during challenging drought conditions. Supported by Virginia Cooperative Extension, this innovative approach is helping farmers improve efficiency, animal tracking and environmental stewardship while adapting to the future of agriculture. #FromTheFarm #VirtualFencing #VirginiaFarming #AgInnovation #CattleManagement
