Paddock Geofencing: Know the Moment Stock Get Out

6 June 2026 · 5 min read

A geofence is just a boundary on the map — your paddock, the home block, the lane to the yards. Once it's drawn, every tagged animal is checked against it on each report.

What it catches

  • Out of paddock — an animal past the fence line, day or night.
  • Heading for trouble — drifting toward a road, river or boundary.
  • Herd scatter — several animals moving off together, which often means a predator, a dog, or an open gate.

Out-of-hours and night-time breaches are weighted more heavily — a single beast grazing across a paddock at noon is normal; a mob on the road at 2am is not.

From alert to action

When a fence is breached, Flockarewe pushes it to your phone and emails you, and Shep adds his read — likely a downed fence, an open gate, or something to act on now. One tap takes you to the animal on the map.

Tip — Reuse paddock zones as you rotate stock — set them once and apply them to whichever mob is in the block.

Keep your stock in sight

Tag your stock with LoRa ear tags and collars, watch every paddock on one map, and let Shep flag trouble — all from one app.
