Abstract
•
Virtual fencing (VF) for livestock is being commercialized by several companies in the United States.
•
Ranchers and land managers are interested in the potential benefits of VF but have reservations about its cost.
•
Cost structures of VF systems vary and are different from physical fencing, making direct comparisons difficult.
•
We explore relevant costs and outline scenarios where VF systems are likely to be cost effective.
•
We discuss practical considerations for livestock producers and rangeland managers who are considering adopting VF.
