Range Forman, for cattle country too big to ride
A New Zealand team is building offline tracking hardware and herd-management software for large cattle operations beyond reliable cell coverage.
Field notes
The product is framed around the gap between dairy-management software and large-scale range operations: cattle may be spread across leased country, outside cell coverage, and impossible to inspect every day. Range Forman says its hardware and management layer are being tested by three working U.S. ranches, with the intended output being prioritised decisions about moving cattle and inspecting range rather than a larger stream of map data. The company identifies itself as an eleven-person New Zealand team and says it remains in stealth.
