805 LoRa Cattle Tracking Collar for Connected Pasture Management
Managing hundreds or thousands of cattle across large grazing areas requires more than occasional manual inspections. Ranch managers need to know where each animal is located, whether cattle have left an approved pasture and how different grazing zones are being used.
The 805 LoRa GPS cattle collar smart virtual fence system developed by Shenzhen Jinshengchang Technology Co., Ltd. combines satellite positioning, long-range LoRa communication, digital pasture boundaries and the lora8 livestock management platform. It provides a practical solution for cattle tracking, escape alerts, rotational grazing and intelligent ranch management.
The lora8 platform allows ranch managers to draw polygonal virtual fences directly on a satellite map.
What Is a Smart Cattle Virtual Fence?
A smart cattle virtual fence is a digital boundary created on an online map. Unlike a traditional physical fence, it can be added, adjusted or removed through software without moving posts or installing new wire.
The ranch manager selects points around a grazing area to create a circular or polygonal boundary. The 805 LoRa cattle collar periodically obtains the animal’s position through GPS or compatible GNSS technology and sends the location data to the platform through LoRa communication.
When an animal enters or leaves a configured area, the platform can generate an alarm according to the selected rule.
How the 805 LoRa Cattle Collar System Works
The recommended system architecture is:
Cattle → 805 LoRa GPS Collar → LoRa/LoRaWAN Gateway → 4G, Ethernet or Wi-Fi Backhaul → lora8 Platform → Web and Mobile APP
The cattle collar collects location, movement, battery and device-status information. A LoRa gateway receives data from multiple collars and forwards it to the cloud or private server.
Compared with installing a cellular SIM card in every collar, a private LoRa network can allow many cattle collars to share one or more ranch gateways. This is useful for large farms where cellular coverage is limited or recurring SIM costs are difficult to control.
Real Cattle-Herd Virtual Fence Management

The image shows a real cattle virtual-fence management interface. Multiple 805 LoRa collar devices are associated with different grazing zones. Ranch managers can view cattle distribution on a satellite map and configure entry or exit alarms for each fence.
This type of visual management can be used to:
- Divide a ranch into multiple grazing paddocks;
- Assign different herds to different pasture zones;
- Detect cattle leaving an approved area;
- Prevent animals from approaching roads or dangerous zones;
- Monitor cattle near water points;
- Review the latest reported location of each collar;
- Change grazing zones without rebuilding physical fences;
- Support rotational grazing and pasture-rest planning.

Virtual Fence and Rotational Grazing
The platform can store multiple pasture boundaries. When one grazing zone requires rest, the manager can activate another zone and move the herd according to the ranch plan.
Historical movement data helps managers evaluate:
- Which pasture areas are being used most frequently;
- Whether cattle are gathering around specific water points;
- Whether part of the herd has separated;
- How long cattle remain in each zone;
- Whether gateway coverage needs improvement;
- Whether grazing boundaries should be adjusted.
A virtual fence supports management decisions, but it should not be described as a complete replacement for all physical fences. Roads, cliffs, rivers and other high-risk boundaries may still require physical protection.
Alerts and Optional Animal Guidance
When a cattle collar approaches or crosses a digital boundary, the system can create an APP or platform alarm. Depending on the selected hardware version, audible, vibration or staged guidance functions may also be evaluated.
Any electrical-stimulation function must be configured conservatively and used only in accordance with local animal-welfare laws and professional livestock-management procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the virtual fence be irregularly shaped?
Yes. The lora8 platform supports polygonal fences that can follow the actual shape of a pasture.
Can one fence be linked to multiple 805 collars?
Yes. A fence can be associated with a device group or multiple cattle collars.
Can the system alert when cattle leave the pasture?
Yes. Managers can enable fence-exit alarms. Entry alarms can also be configured for restricted areas.
Can the grazing zone be changed remotely?
Yes. Authorized users can edit or switch virtual fence areas through the management platform.
Can Jinshengchang connect the collar to our platform?
Yes. API, SDK, communication protocols and private-server integration can be provided according to the project.
