'Smart cow' technology allows cows to herd themselves

From Afternoons, 1:35 pm on 8 September 2022

New technology has been developed to automate some of the most critical tasks of the day on a dairy farm.

Developed by Craig Piggott, Halter gives farmers the ability to pair the live stock with an app, which enables the herds to be moved remotely.

Craig Piggott talks to Jesse about the technology they've developed and the nationwide roll out.
