Company Description

Halter entered Tasmania two years ago and has rapidly expanded to now have 20% of the state's dairy herd with Halter - a thriving customer base managed by a talented, local team. Halter recently entered Queensland and New South Wales, and now has a growing team and customer base across both states.

In South Australia and Victoria, Halter is preparing to launch operations following recent regulatory approval for virtual fencing. In Western Australia, Halter does not yet have customers. In these states there is a groundswell of demand for Halter across thousands of farmers. In Australia, virtual fencing is regulated by individual states' animal welfare legislation. Until recently, several states had legislation that did not permit farmers to use high-quality virtual fencing technology. With New South Wales parliament's announcement regulating virtual fencing, and South Australia and Victoria following suit, these barriers are now lifting.
