Whether it’s the use of drones, AI, virtual fences, herd tracking software or remote monitoring cameras, the Canadian Forage and Grassland Association (CFGA) supports livestock producers who are implementing new technologies in ranching!

Join the CFGA, the Chinook Applied Research Association and Riverview Ranch for a classroom session in the morning focused on the introduction of these new technologies. Then participants will head to the pasture for a tour of a herd being managed by Gallagher eSheperd virtual fence collars!

Discover the practical use of virtual fence technology, including paddock design and capabilities, and see the collars at work in the pasture. Learn about drones, their practical applications for your ranch and hear the latest industry updates. You’ll also receive the most recent information on the On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF) program funding for your area.

The event will be held at the Bow Island Legion Hall, with a pasture tour following lunch.

Cost: $20/person, includes lunch (bus to the pasture from the Legion is provided)
