When you’re running cattle on thousands of acres of remote range, there’s one tool that absolutely must be working: the electric fence. But what happens when the power drops — and no one knows? Animals can wander, predators can slip in, and you might not find out until it’s too late. That’s why we built a better solution: AgriLynk’s remote electric fence monitor. Whether you’re managing pastures from 20 miles or 600 miles away, you’ll know when your fence loses power — even in the most rugged, off-grid terrain.
Electric Fence Power Loss: A Costly Blind Spot
Power failures on electric fences are a major vulnerability for ranchers and farmers. Whether it’s a fault in the line, a drained battery, or an upstream power issue, the result is the same — your fence is down, and you won’t know until something goes wrong.
Traditional solutions rely on walking the fence or using handheld testers, but that doesn’t scale when you’ve got miles of fence in the backcountry.
AgriLynk’s Remote Fence Monitoring — How It Works
AgriLynk’s newest field station, available now for $699, includes built-in electric fence monitoring. It detects when the fence line has lost power and sends an alert to your phone or email. You’ll know within minutes if the fence is down — no guesswork, no wasted time.
-
Alerts via SMS, email, or in-app
-
Check-in interval every 8 minutes
-
Works independently of local internet or power
With this remote electric fence monitor, you’re always in the loop, even when you’re miles from the fence line.
No Power? No Problem. Use Our Solar + Satellite/Cellular Router
Many of the ranches we serve are completely off-grid. That’s why we offer an optional solar-powered wireless router, capable of transmitting data over cellular or satellite networks. Paired with the AgriLynk field station, it forms a complete stand-alone monitoring system you can drop anywhere you have fence.
Perfect for:
-
Remote grazing leases
-
Rotational pastures
-
Temporary electric fence setups
-
Wildlife protection zones
From Fallbrook to the Fence Line: Troy’s Use Case
Troy Connor, AgriLynk co-founder and a longtime Southern California farmer, runs cattle on a ranch in Northern California — more than 600 miles from his home in Fallbrook.
“With AgriLynk, I don’t have to wonder if the fence is working,” Troy explains. “I get an alert if the power drops, and I can immediately call my ranch manager to check it out. I don’t lose sleep anymore wondering if the herd is safe.”
This is exactly why we built this feature — to give busy ranchers peace of mind, no matter where they are.
What’s Coming Next
Right now, AgriLynk tells you when the fence is off. But we’re already working on enhancements that will identify which direction the fault is in and how far down the line the problem is. Stay tuned — there’s more coming.
