The eShepherd technology used will :
� allow graziers to rapidly implement adaptive grazing management strategies ;
� remotely and instantly modify digital paddock boundaries to improve pasture production ;
� enable more effective pasture utilisation ;
� remotely ‘ draft ’ cattle classes without a muster , and redirect high-needs cattle classes to better pasture ; and
� protect sensitive areas to enable rapid pasture responses and improve land condition .
