Who We Are

Gallagher is a global leader in high-tech solutions, renowned for innovation and excellence. With a significant market presence in over 160 countries, we protect some of the world’s highest security environments and agricultural businesses.

The Tech That’s Changing The Game

As part of Gallagher’s Animal Management division, eShepherd™ is leading the charge in smart farming tech - redefining how livestock is managed.

eShepherd™ is our breakthrough virtual fencing solution that enables farmers to monitor, move, and manage cattle from anywhere. Using GPS-enabled, solar-powered neckbands, farmers can create digital fence lines on their phone - transforming land use, reducing labour, and improving environmental and animal welfare outcomes.

This is innovation with real-world impact on productivity, profitability, and sustainability.
