Monil Launches in the U.S., Bringing Simple, Flexible Virtual Fencing to More American Farms

KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 29, 2026.


The Monil cattle collar brings a simpler, more flexible approach to managed grazing for America’s cattle producers - from family farms to growing operations. Designed for the realities of everyday cattle operations, the Monil Cattle Collar helps producers move paddocks in minutes from their phone instead of hours in the field, improve grazing management, reduce manual labor, and gain greater visibility into their herd through simple, thoughtfully designed virtual fencing.

The Monil Cattle Collar combines simple, thoughtfully designed virtual fencing with real-time herd insights to help producers get more from every acre.
“When we looked at the U.S., we didn’t just see a new market. We saw an industry where everyday cattle operations make up the backbone of American agriculture, yet are too often overlooked when new technology reaches the market,” said Torstein Nesse, CEO of Monil.

“Monil was built to change that by making virtual fencing simple, practical, and within reach for more producers, with the flexibility to support operations as they start, grow, and scale.

If we can help make farming easier now, we can help make it a more attractive future for the next generation.”

 

As more U.S. producers adopt managed grazing to improve pasture productivity, reduce feed costs, and strengthen long-term land health, virtual fencing is becoming an increasingly valuable management tool. Monil combines proven virtual fencing technology with thoughtful hardware, intuitive software, and local support to make managed grazing practical for more cattle producers.

 

Get more from every acre.

Managed grazing works best when producers can move cattle frequently, but manually moving temporary fencing is cumbersome. Monil removes that barrier by allowing producers to create, adjust, and move virtual paddocks in minutes from the Monil app instead of spending hours building, moving, and repairing fences. Within the app, producers can create paddocks, draw exclusion zones, drag boundary lines to adjust grazing areas, and move cattle to fresh pasture with just a few taps. The added flexibility helps producers make better use of available forage, extend grazing seasons, reduce purchased feed and hay, and unlock land that may have been too expensive or impractical to fence, including leased ground, cover crops, cornstalks, and environmentally sensitive areas. Producers gain more flexibility over how their land is grazed without adding permanent infrastructure.

Built to fit your operation.

Every cattle operation is different, and Monil is designed to adapt to the way producers already farm. There are no towers, base stations, or permanent infrastructure to install. As long as mobile coverage is available, producers can fit the collars, open the Monil app, and begin creating grazing paddocks. Whether starting with the minimum of six collars or outfitting a herd with hundreds of cattle, producers can choose the number that best fits their operation, pay only for collars actively in use through a straightforward subscription model, and add more as their needs grow. The result is a flexible system that fits operations of all sizes rather than forcing producers into a one-size-fits-all approach.

Simple by design.

The Monil Cattle Collar was built to make virtual fencing easy and reliable. At the center of the system is the award-winning top-mounted collar, designed to maximize solar charging, maintain reliable GPS and cellular connectivity, support precise virtual fence boundaries, and stand up to the realities of daily farm life.

As cattle cross the virtual boundary, the collar emits directional audio cues that become more pronounced as the animal continues forward and softens as it turns back towards the grazing area, helping most cattle learn the system within just a few days. Weighing just 2.2 pounds, the compact, ergonomic collar is the lightest on the market, designed to fit comfortably on the animal while remaining rugged enough for years of use and backed by a five-year warranty.

Stay connected to every animal.

Monil is more than a virtual fencing system. It gives producers a clearer picture of what’s happening across the herd, turning everyday movement and behavior into meaningful management insights. The app tracks each animal’s location, grazing behavior, activity, and rumination while alerting producers to changes that could indicate heat cycles or an animal that may need attention. Producers can also record notes for individual animals, building a complete history over time. Because Monil associates data with the animal rather than the collar itself, that history stays with the animal even if collars are switched, giving producers deeper long-term insights that help reduce losses, improve herd performance, and make more informed management decisions.

The Monil Cattle Collar is top mounted

Since 2022, Monil has shipped tens of thousands of collars across four markets, enabling more than 100 million grazing hours across Europe. The company is now bringing that technology to U.S. producers through a growing Farmer Success Team based in the Midwest. Monil has invested in local expertise to help producers get started, answer questions, and continue improving their operation, long after setup. The company is currently expanding throughout the United States, with an initial focus on serving producers across the Midwest and continuing to grow into additional regions.
