Halter
About
Welcome to the future of farming
We’re on a mission to unlock more productive and sustainable agriculture.
Farmers are using Halter to break free from the time-intensive constraints of conventional farming. They’re growing more grass, increasing milk production and improving the health and well-being of their cows.
We bridge deep tech into real-world farming by enabling farmers to remotely shift, virtually fence and proactively monitor their cows’ health and behaviour.

Snapshot of Halter
Why Halter Is Building the Future of Farming
Halter is transforming the world’s most important job, farming, through solar-powered collars, smart software, and farmer-first innovation.
From a 300-cow dairy farm in Matamata to a company leading a global ag-tech movement, Halter is solving agriculture’s deepest challenges: labour shortages, land optimisation, and sustainability, all at once.
Farmers love it because it works. Over 1,000 farmers now rely on Halter to guide their herds with precision, set virtual fences, optimise pasture use, and reclaim 30+ hours a week, all through an app. With more than 200,000km of virtual fences set in 2024 alone, Halter is quite literally reshaping the landscape of modern farming.
Why You’ll Want to Work at Halter
Work That Matters Feeding the world is no small task. Halter empowers farmers to do it better, smarter, faster, and more sustainably. You’ll be building real tools used every day by people who grow our food and care for the land.
Stories Worth Sharing Whether it’s Big Bird responding to a remote cue from San Francisco, or a customer saying, “I’d retire from farming if I didn’t have Halter,” the stories coming out of Halter are legendary. This is tech with heart, built on grit, curiosity, and wild ideas that actually work.
End-to-End Innovation From bulletproof solar collars to world-first virtual fencing, Halter blends engineering, hardware, software and deep farming knowledge. If you’re into hard problems and meaningful work, you’ll be in your element.
Team Spirit You Can Feel There’s something special about a company where everyone, from engineers to founders, takes shifts charging collars in a converted shipping container to get through winter. Or where a team rallies to build towers by hand in a milking shed after the contractor cancels. This is what true ownership looks like.
Global Ambition, Local Roots Halter could have stopped at New Zealand. But its vision is bigger: to become the default operating system for farms around the world. Backed by Bessemer Venture Partners and with an $85M Series C under its belt, Halter is poised to go global.
If you want to build world-changing tech for the world’s oldest industry, Halter is worth checking out.
