Why eShepherd?

eShepherd is fundamentally changing how producers operate. Our customers are moving cattle remotely, managing grazing more precisely and creating grazing areas without building physical fences.

We’re a fast-growing AgTech business backed by Gallagher, a company that has been solving problems alongside farmers for more than 88 years.

As part of Team Gallagher, you’ll enjoy:

• Competitive salary and annual incentive opportunity.

• Career growth within a global technology company.
