Sheep GPS Tracking Collar
The Sheep GPS Tracking Collar is designed for real-time flock location, grazing-route monitoring and escape prevention. It supports GPS positioning, configurable location uploads, electronic geofences and historical route playback. Waterproof construction, low-power operation and optional LoRaWAN or 4G communication make it suitable for large farms, open pastures and remote grazing areas.
- Real-Time Sheep Tracking: Displays the latest location of each sheep on the management platform
- Electronic Geofence: Sends an alert when a sheep leaves or enters a designated grazing area
- Historical Route Playback: Reviews daily movement routes and grazing activity
- Long Battery Life: Low-power hardware and configurable reporting intervals reduce charging frequency
- Waterproof Construction: Designed for rain, mud, dust and outdoor grazing conditions
- LoRaWAN Communication: Enables long-range tracking without a SIM card in every collar
- 4G Communication Option: Sends location data through the cellular network without deploying a LoRaWAN gateway
- Solar Charging Option: Extends operating time for sheep grazing outdoors
- Activity Monitoring: Detects movement, prolonged inactivity and abnormal behavior
- Flock Management: Supports centralized management of large numbers of sheep
- Mobile and Web Access: Allows farmers to check sheep through an Android, iOS or PC platform
- Remote Configuration: Positioning and reporting intervals can be adjusted remotely
- OEM and ODM Service: Supports customized enclosures, straps, firmware, protocols, logos and platforms

OVERVIEW
Overview
The Sheep GPS Tracking Collar provides farmers with a practical method for monitoring flock locations across large pastures. Instead of searching for missing animals manually, users can check the latest location of each equipped sheep through a web platform or mobile application.
The collar receives satellite signals to calculate its position and transmits the location to the management platform through LoRaWAN or 4G. The LoRaWAN version does not require a SIM card in every collar, but it requires compatible gateways within the grazing area. The 4G version uses a SIM card and is suitable for farms with reliable cellular coverage.
Farmers can create electronic geofences around pastures, feeding areas, water sources and hazardous locations. When a sheep crosses a configured boundary, the system can generate an entry or exit notification. This helps farmers identify escaped or separated animals earlier.
Historical route playback records where the sheep travelled during a selected period. These records can help farmers understand grazing distribution, identify frequently visited areas and evaluate whether parts of the pasture are being underused or overgrazed.
The built-in motion sensor supports activity monitoring. Prolonged inactivity or unusual movement can be configured as an alert condition, helping farm staff identify animals that may require inspection. The tracker is an auxiliary monitoring device and does not replace professional veterinary diagnosis.
Battery operating time depends on the reporting interval, satellite conditions, network signal, temperature and activity frequency. Longer reporting intervals reduce power consumption, while frequent real-time uploads consume more energy. An optional solar-charging design can reduce manual charging requirements in sunny outdoor environments.
For LoRaWAN projects, gateways should be installed at elevated, unobstructed locations. A coverage survey should be completed before deploying collars across the entire farm. Additional gateways can be installed to cover valleys, hills, buildings and other signal-blocked areas.
Shenzhen Jinshengchang Technology Co., Ltd. provides OEM and ODM services for sheep GPS tracking projects. Available services include enclosure development, adjustable collar straps, solar charging, LoRaWAN frequency configuration, 4G network adaptation, firmware development, private protocols, API integration and white-label flock-management platforms.
