For pasture-based beef farms

Find missing animals faster. Catch fence breaches sooner.

Krava.info is a farm incident-response system. It shows last trusted location, movement history, and when the signal is weak or stale - without fake precision.

Cow in a pasture near a track at sunrise — where to search first
Missing animal
Last trusted location: 18 min
Weak signal - confidence radius

When something goes wrong in the field, guesswork is expensive.

When a cow is missing or outside a boundary, the team often starts with field rounds, phone calls, and memory.

Fallen animal in a remote pasture — the risk of late response
Animal missing
Fence breach
Weak or stale signal
  • which animal needs attention
  • where to look first
  • whether the issue is the animal, the device, or coverage

Built for real incidents, not dashboard theater.

Krava.info helps the farm respond faster to missing animals, fence breaches, and degraded visibility.

  • last known location with timestamp and confidence
  • movement history for a selected animal
  • geofence breach alerts
  • missing-animal incidents
  • hardware context when a device or gateway may be the issue
  • Telegram alerts with a direct link into the mobile app

How it works

System architecture: device, gateway, network server, application, phone

Device on the animal

Ear mark or collar that transmits data over LoRaWAN.

  • Movement, temperature, and location context.
  • No charging needed — target battery life around 3 years.
  • Accuracy varies by device type.

LoRaWAN Gateway

Receives the signal from devices and forwards it to the network.

  • Mounted on a pole or roof with line of sight to the pasture.
  • Powered by cable or solar panel.
  • 4G/LTE uplink to the network server.

Network Server

Manages device sessions and routes data.

  • Deduplication and packet validation.
  • Secure connection to app.krava.info.
  • Standard LoRaWAN protocol support.

app.krava.info processes data

Evaluates position, confidence, and opens incidents when needed.

  • Shows last trusted location with timestamp.
  • Opens an incident for missing animal or breach.
  • Sends Telegram alert with a link into the app.

Team phone / tablet

The worker sees the incident and responds in the field.

  • Checks location and movement history.
  • Claims the incident and records outcome.
  • Works in a mobile browser — no install needed.

Three device types for different farm needs.

Not every animal and pasture needs the same accuracy, cost, or control. Krava.info supports different field devices for different scenarios.

Cattle ear mark tracker with temperature movement and location context

Ear mark

A lightweight, lower-cost option for broader herd visibility.

  • around 20g
  • low-cost entry device
  • target battery life around 3 years
  • temperature, movement, and location context
  • best location around 200m under suitable conditions

Built for operational orientation, not GPS-level precision.

Blue neck tracker with strap for cattle

Neck tracker

Higher accuracy for animals and pilots where position matters more.

  • around double the price of the ear mark
  • ambient temperature
  • movement
  • GPS location
  • best location around 5m under suitable conditions

GPS accuracy depends on field conditions, sky view, operating mode, and reporting interval.

Black EV Herdsman device for controlled virtual fence capability

EV Herdsman

Controlled capability for supported collars.

  • syncs fence state to supported device
  • off by default
  • explicitly operator-enabled
  • bounded repeat count
  • command outcomes are visible and auditable

This is not an autonomous shock system. It is a controlled, operator-managed capability with an audit trail.

It shows what it knows - and what it does not.

Krava.info does not show weak signal as precise location.

Strong location - precise marker
Weak location - marker with confidence radius
Stale signal - last trusted position with clear time
No coverage - degraded visibility, not invented current position
Beautiful LieTrue Reality
Comparison between precise and honestly shown weak or stale location

Movement history shows accepted location fixes for a selected period, not a perfect GPS trail.

Good results start with understanding the problem.

Krava.info is not sold as a standard online service. To work properly, we need to understand the pasture, animals, coverage, gateway locations, and pilot goal.

  • herd size and structure
  • pasture and fence layout
  • which devices fit best
  • expected coverage
  • how success will be measured
  • what support is needed

A pilot should create proof, not just alerts.

Every incident leaves a record: when it opened, who claimed it, what the team saw, when it was resolved, and what the movement history showed.

  • 08:12 - Missing animal incident opened
  • 08:16 - Ivan claimed
  • 08:18 - Last trusted location checked
  • 08:47 - Animal found
  • 08:51 - Incident resolved

Benefits

Cattle herd on pasture — fast detection of missing animals

Find missing animals faster — without counting by hand

The system tracks which animals have passed and when, and alerts you when one is missing.

Group of cows with a clear gap suggesting a missing animal

Get warned if a cow is missing before it is too late

You receive a message immediately if a cow does not appear at the expected location.

Ear mark on a cow next to a temperature sensor panel

Catch movement and temperature problems early

Devices measure temperature and movement to warn you about anomalies.

Rugged hardware with solar panel on a pasture fence

Tough hardware built for heavy farm work

Enclosures are water and dust protected, solar powered, and connected via mobile network.

FAQ

Is this a full herd management platform?

No. Krava.info first focuses on safety and incident response: missing animals, fence breaches, degraded visibility, and hardware context.

Does it always show exact GPS position?

No. When the signal is weak or stale, the system shows it as weak or stale. That is important for trust.

Does it provide health alerts?

Not as a customer-facing pilot v1 promise. Temperature and movement may be collected for future calibration, but the first promise is location-first incident response.

How does EV Herdsman work?

As a controlled capability for supported collars. It is off by default, enabled by an operator, bounded by repeat count, and command outcomes are visible in history.

Why is there no website price?

Because the pilot depends on animal count, devices, coverage, gateways, and farm goals. After a request, we propose a specific pilot.

Start with the farm and the real field problem.

The first step is a short conversation about the animals, pasture, devices, and what the pilot needs to prove.
