RO🐄 Halter, a New Zealand agtech startup, has developed AI-powered smart collars that create virtual fences for cattle, allowing farmers to manage herds remotely through a phone app.
The collars use sound and vibration cues to guide cows, collect over 6,000 data points per minute, and use machine learning to track grazing, predict disease, and detect breeding cycles.
Founded by Craig Piggott, who grew up on a dairy farm, Halter now manages nearly 650,000 cows across 1,300 farms in New Zealand, Australia, and the United States.
The company recently raised $220 million at a $2 billion valuation 👀
