Farmers feed our population and hold the keys to vital climate solutions. At Halter, we're on a mission to enable farmers to run the most productive and sustainable farms. Farmers are using Halter to break free from the time-intensive constraints of conventional farming. They're growing more grass, increasing milk production and improving the health and wellbeing of their cows.We bridge deep tech into farming. Halter enables farmers to remotely shift, virtually fence and proactively monitor their cows' health and behaviour. Can you imagine watching 500 dairy cows turn in unison and walk calmly towards the milking shed? No quad bikes, no dogs, no fences. Just a mob of cows walking at their own pace. People say it looks like magic. Our customers are revolutionizing farming with Halter. It's changing lives and transforming an industry.People join Halter because they want to do meaningful work.
