118 | Virtual Fencing for Ranchers: Inside the Vence System with Grace Inglee

In Today’s Episode:

This week on Leaders Of The West, Jessie is joined by Grace Inglee, her Rancher Success Rep from Vence, the virtual fencing company Jessie’s family has been using on their operation since late 2024.

After sharing glimpses of her experience with Vence, she has had countless questions from listeners and followers:

• How does virtual fencing actually work?
• Is it hard to set up?
• Does it really keep cows in?

So, she brought Grace on the podcast to walk through it all!

In the episode they cover:

• What virtual fencing is and how it stacks up against traditional fencing methods.
• How the collars, towers, and herd manager software work together to create a reliable system.
• Training cattle with Vence and why it’s faster and easier than you’d expect.
• Use cases across the country: from fire recovery (like our own), to predator monitoring, to rotational grazing, and more.
• Why even low-tech producers can get started confidently with virtual fencing.
