    Satellite virtual fencing could save time, money for cattle industry (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Barbed wire is so last century. Tech-savvy ranchers are adopting virtual fences to reclaim their free time and cut costs, while leaving behind a culture war of “fake” cowboys.

That could replace the need for costlier cell towers, which have been the virtual fencing norm but require multiple installations on larger operat

    Melissa Dalley quit her dream job working for the National Park Service in April. By July, she arrived in Grand Teton National Park with printouts of a sign the park removed over its winter closure. Handing them out to the public was the first activity on her list.

At an exhibit on the park’s early founders, the former park ranger approached visitors with an objective. “If they
