Abstract

Managed grazing systems strive to improve rangeland health and forage utilization.
Novel grazing technologies are enabling managed grazing to be more effectively applied to rangeland systems.
Herd instinct tags are a new technology that aim to promote migratory grazing and increased stocking density with lesser technical knowledge and management inputs than virtual fencing applications.
Herd instinct tags maintained animals at a higher stock density but did not affect animal behavior or fecal cortisol levels.
Evaluation of animal performance and ecological health is needed to determine suitability in production scenarios.
