Halter’s platform integrates GPS-enabled smart collars, wireless connectivity towers, and a mobile app to allow farmers to manage their herds remotely. By using sound and vibration cues, the system helps optimize grazing patterns and minimize environmental impact. This technology is especially relevant as dairy farmers increasingly look to automation to counter labor shortages and drive productivity.

The company has already partnered with about 150 ranchers across 18 U.S. states and plans to use its new capital to accelerate growth in the American dairy sector. Halter’s expansion strategy is centered around supporting small and medium farms, offering them tools to improve efficiency without requiring large labor forces on-site.

CEO and founder Craig Piggott emphasized the urgency of automating livestock management in the U.S., where over half of ranchers are aged 55 or older, and workforce shortages are being exacerbated by immigration policies. Halter’s technology is designed to empower aging farm populations and smaller teams by reducing the need for constant physical herd supervision.
