Nofence (virtual fencing) technology trialled at RSPB Lake Vyrnwy, Powys, could revolutionise controlling cattle movements. When a cow strays outside a virtual area, collars administer an audio cue followed by a non-harmful electric shock. Animals can be moved via app around the large expanse, allowing grazing hotspots to be rested and excluding cattle from sensitive areas such as Hen Harrier nest sites.
