Virtual fencing opens new pastures for Ontario beef farm

A new kind of fence is helping Enright Cattle Company near Tweed, Ontario, make the most of every acre. Instead of posts and wire, their boundaries now exist on a smartphone screen — and those virtual fences can be moved with a few taps on that screen instead of by hand in the field.
