Landowners have primarily used the technology to control grazing patterns, but experts believe the system can also help minimize ranching’s environmental impact.

There’s been a push recently to remove or replace fences to allow deer, pronghorn and elk to move about and migrate. But one of the biggest hurdles is knowing where all those miles and miles of fence actually are.

Depending on the location, growing season and habitat, certain materials and layouts could be cheaper and more effective than alternatives. In some cases, electric or barbed wire might work, while in others, mesh or wood is sufficient.
