Track your flock across the hill
Flockarewe tracks hefted Highland and croft flocks with LoRa ear tags, GPS collars and geofencing, so you can find a stray in minutes, know the moment the flock scatters, and run your common grazings. It works on remote hill with no mobile signal, and without a SIM for every ewe.
Built for the Highlands
Hefted flocks range over vast, remote hill ground with little or no mobile coverage. LoRa ear tags report to gateways on high ground, so you keep track of the flock across the hill without a SIM for every ewe.
Find strays across the hill
When a ewe leaves her heft or strays onto a neighbour's ground or the road, you see where she is on a live map instead of walking miles of open hill, which saves time at the gathering and through lambing.
Cut theft
Livestock theft reaches even remote hill farms. Flock Watch raises an urgent alert the moment the flock suddenly runs and bunches together, with a location you can give to Police Scotland.
Made for common grazings
Much Highland and croft land is held in common grazings. Our commons module handles souming, shared stock and per-shareholder records, so a whole grazings committee can run on one platform.
Why Scottish hill farms and crofts use Flockarewe
Hill and croft flocks in Scotland range over huge, remote ground, much of it hefted, much of it held in common grazings, and most of it beyond mobile coverage. That is exactly what Flockarewe is built for. LoRa ear tags on the whole flock report to gateways on high ground, giving you a live map across the hill without a SIM on every ewe.
For theft, Flock Watch watches how the flock behaves and raises an urgent alert the instant it bolts and bunches together, with a location for Police Scotland. And on common grazings, the commons module keeps souming and per-shareholder records for the whole grazings.
It is one platform across sheep and cattle, with theft detection, geofencing and welfare alerts together.
Sheep tracking in Scotland, FAQs
Does it work on remote hill with no signal?
Yes. LoRa ear tags and collars report to gateways sited on high ground, which cover the open hill and glens where there is no mobile signal, and without a SIM for every animal. Only 4G collars use the mobile network.
Is it suitable for Blackface and Cheviot hill ewes?
Yes. Light LoRa ear tags suit hardy, wide-ranging hill breeds, and GPS collars are available for animals you want a precise fix on, such as tups or persistent strayers.
Does it work for crofting common grazings?
Yes. The commons module is built for shared grazing: souming, shared stock and per-shareholder records, so the whole grazings committee can see its stock on one map while each crofter keeps their own animals.
Can it help against sheep theft in Scotland?
Yes. As well as geofence and stray alerts, Flock Watch detects the flock running and bunching together, the sign of worrying or a round-up, and gives you a live location to pass to Police Scotland.
What does it cost for a hill or croft flock?
Cost depends mainly on how many gateways your hill needs plus the tags. For a large or remote area we usually start with a pilot on the core ground before you commit the whole flock, and we will quote once we know your terrain.
