Nofence

Founded in Norway in 2011 by goat farmer Oscar Hovde, Nofence is the world’s first commercial virtual fencing system for livestock serving as a sustainable alternative to traditional fencing.

The animals’ grazing areas are managed using a GPS collar, which communicates with an app using a mobile network. When the animals cross the virtual boundary, an escalating acoustic warning is played. If they ignore the sound they will get a light electrical pulse. The animals learn this quickly in their training period of up to a week depending on variables like the breed and the age of the animal.

The company’s virtual fences have increased in popularity since its pilot customers first began using it in Norway in 2016. With 90 employees, Nofence has sold 150,000 collars across Norway, the UK, Ireland, Spain and the United States - a strong testament to the success of the new technology.

Nofence offers CLA members a 10% discount on the sales value with a minimum purchase of five collars per customer. This is applies to collars only, additional equipment such as batteries and chargers are not included in this offer.
