A key part of the conversation centered on how RangeView supports day-to-day pasture management. “What RangeView can do is help you look at the forage you have, the quality of forage you have, maybe some invasive species you would like to remove,” Hossfeld said. From there, the platform allows producers to set up grazing rotations and alerts so they can manage utilization more precisely. “A lot of times we don’t get to graze at all before we have to move,” he added, noting how technology helps fine-tune those decisions.

That precision increases even more through Envu’s partnership with CERES TAG, which integrates animal performance data with pasture information. “Within a three-meter pixel, at any time, we can see how much is grazed, the health of that, and you really start to get that in-depth knowledge of that pasture,” Hossfeld explained. He said this kind of insight is especially valuable in today’s labor-tight environment. “Technology should work for you. You shouldn’t work for it,” he told Hays, pointing to features like GPS cattle locations and water tank monitors that save hours of checking pastures in person.
