No SIM card required

No-SIM smart tags for the animals you cannot afford to lose sight of.

HerdHalo helps British farmers monitor calving, locate livestock and catch open gates across fields, sheds and yards — without putting a SIM card in every tag. One farm-owned network, no per-animal mobile contract, and reusable tags built for the realities of working land.

No-SIM tags · one farm gateway · one simple app

  • No SIM card in every tag
  • No per-animal mobile contract
  • One farm network
  • Reusable tags
Designed in Britain

Hardware for the farms that feed Britain.

HerdHalo is designed and built in Britain, for British conditions — rugged, no-SIM hardware built around patchy signal, thick sheds and long days on the land.

  • 01

    Designed for British conditions

    Wet fields, thick stone sheds, hedgerows and hills — the realities our tags and gateways are tuned for.

  • 02

    Farm-owned connectivity

    Your network, your data, no mobile contract per animal. The farm owns the link, not a telecoms provider.

  • 03

    Built to roll out at your pace

    Start with your highest-value animals and expand across the herd when it suits the season and the budget.

01The reality on the ground

Farms do not stop where phone signal stops.

HerdHalo is built around the realities of working land — not the assumption that every field has a mobile mast nearby.

  • 01

    Patchy mobile coverage

    Mobile signal is unreliable across many farms. HerdHalo is designed around farm-level connectivity instead of per-animal SIM cards.

  • 02

    Missed calving events

    Farmers cannot be everywhere at once. HerdHalo Calve helps surface the animals that may need attention.

  • 03

    Lost time searching fields

    HerdHalo Locate helps reduce wasted time locating livestock across fields, lanes, sheds and remote grazing areas.

  • 04

    Too many subscriptions

    Avoid paying for a mobile contract per tag. Keep the hardware simple and the network farm-owned.

02The HerdHalo family

Three products. One farm network.

Run them on their own or together — they all report into the same farm-owned network and the same simple app. No SIM card in any of them.

03How it works

Simple farm setup. No SIM in every tag.

Tags talk to a farm gateway, not the mobile network — so connectivity stays farm-owned and there is no contract per animal.

  1. 01

    Tag the animal

    Attach HerdHalo Calve or HerdHalo Locate to selected livestock.

  2. 02

    Connect the farm

    A farm gateway receives tag signals across key areas such as sheds, yards and grazing land.

  3. 03

    Get useful alerts

    Farmers receive clear notifications for calving attention, location changes or livestock movement.

  4. 04

    Act faster

    Know which animal needs attention and where to start looking.

The signal path

The exact communication range depends on terrain, buildings, gateway placement and farm layout.

04For farmers

Built for the jobs farmers actually need done.

Less time chasing uncertainty, more time on the work that matters.

  • 01Find your animals faster
  • 02Reduce missed calving checks
  • 03Avoid SIM contracts per animal
  • 04Support welfare and quicker response
  • 05Improve visibility across sheds and fields
  • 06Spend less time chasing uncertainty

05The app

Alerts that tell you what matters.

A short, scannable list of what needs you — not a dashboard full of noise.

  • Attention-first alertsThe animals that may need you are surfaced at the top — calving activity, a strayed cow, a moved trailer.
  • Last-seen by gatewayEach alert shows where it was last picked up, so you know which gate to head for first.
  • A simple herd listStatus and tag battery at a glance. No dashboards full of noise to wade through.

Clear, farmer-friendly notifications — no telecoms contract per tag.
