From the grazing season

Farmers on what Pasture Control actually meant when things got tough.

Innset in Rennebu — summer 2024

When the predator attacked Arnt and Astrid Strand's herd

Arnt and Astrid Strand raise sheep at Innset in Rennebu municipality. In the summer of 2024, their herd was subjected to predator attacks.

The stress alarm in the e-bell gave them alerts about the stress level in the flock. This allowed us to assist with information about both their own herd and predator activity in the grazing area.

We also compiled data from other users in the same area. It gave a precise picture of the situation — and saved animal lives.

How we help

Three things we can do for you

None of them prevent an attack. All three give you a shorter path from something happening to you knowing about it.

Stress alert

The e-bell measures movement and activity. When animals show unusually high movement, it can indicate dangers in the surroundings. You are notified on the app when stress hits the herd.

Monitoring of area and herd

See where the flock is, which animals are stressed, and which animals are resting. Model2 Green and Model2 Red provide coverage even where the mobile network doesn't reach.

Support during predator attacks

We retrieve and compile data from your area around the incident — and help you interpret it for a precise picture of the situation.

Stress alert

Restlessness in the flock is often the first sign

Sheep being chased move differently than sheep grazing. The e-bell registers the movement pattern and alerts you immediately if the animal is subjected to stress from its surroundings.

A stress alert says that something is happening, but not what is happening. It could be predators, but also loose dogs, herding, or traffic. The alert gives you a reason to check.

Pasture Control with e-bells grouped by alert: restlessness, low movement, high movement, and normal — The alerts group the herd according to what is happening — the different alarms give you a picture of which animals are grazing normally and which animals you should follow up on.

Monitoring of area and herd

Overview between inspections

In an area with predators, it's not enough to know where the animals were yesterday. Pasture Control shows positions, movement, and which animals show abnormal behavior. View your own units or the entire grazing association in the same overview.
