Close-boundary neckband for barns and yards, the same behavior and identity stack as the ear tag, with solar plus motion/vibration harvesting into LiFePO4, a geofence ringer, HerdScan RFID at checkpoints, and on-demand GPS to find the band even outside the farm.

When workflow prefers a neckband over an ear tag, visibility, handling practice, or species fit, HerdBand Neck SR delivers the same close-boundary intelligence in a collar form. Bluetooth LE long-range coded PHY keeps the band on HerdGate SR; vitals and activity feed HerdLink; the on-band ringer supports geofence control; RFID supports HerdScan at weigh and parlor; and on-demand global GPS locate pinpoints a missing animal or band even outside the farm and beyond gateway range. Smart livestock wearables exist so you can read behaviour, not only location. Heart rate and body temperature, with activity context, support heat / breeding windows, early health and fever watch, stress indicators, rest vs restless patterns, and other herd events for milking and fattening. Global GPS supports two location modes: on-demand locate to pinpoint the node anywhere (including outside the farm / outside gateway coverage), and settable on-farm GPS updates (for example every few hours, or an interval you choose) so herd maps stay current without continuous tracking drain. After a locate or scheduled fix, the band returns to ultra-low-power herd operation. Power is built for continuous duty: LiFePO4 with active solar charging and vibration / piezoelectric harvesting from animal motion, targeting lifetime operation.

HerdBand Neck SR (HL-NB-SR) — behavior and identity on the neck; global GPS on demand to find a band even outside the farm.
