CERES TAG Partners with Missouri State University to Advance Smarter Grazing and Land Management

CERES TAG, a leader in satellite-enabled livestock intelligence, is proud to announce a new technology collaboration agreement with researchers at the University of Missouri Department of Animal Sciences to evaluate how real-time livestock behavior and grazing activity data can improve understanding of tall fescue grazing systems in Missouri cattle and small ruminant operations.

The collaboration will support ongoing grazing and forage systems research associated with Dr. Eric Bailey and Dr Harley Naumann and MU’s forage-livestock research programs. By integrating CERES TAG’s animal monitoring technology into pasture-based research environments, the project aims to generate new insights into grazing distribution, forage utilization, livestock movement patterns, and animal performance on fescue-based systems.

In addition to utilizing CERES TAGS for cattle research, CERES TAG smart ear tags will also be deployed on sheep to better understand grazing behaviors, pasture utilization patterns, and species-specific interactions within grazing systems. Researchers believe incorporating sheep into the study will provide valuable insights into multi-species grazing strategies, forage management, and regenerative pasture systems.
