Batesville’s cattle research gets a tech upgrade

Virtual fencing for cattle is about to become a reality in Batesville! Flint Harrelson, the new director at the Livestock and Forestry Research Station, is bringing fresh ideas to Arkansas agriculture. His team is testing collars that keep cattle grazing on winter wheat—no physical fences needed. This could mean less fertilizer use and easier management for local farmers. Plus, they’re diving into DNA mapping to breed cattle that thrive on Arkansas forages. Imagine the impact on local farms if these innovations catch on. Would you trust virtual fences for your livestock? #Business #Industry #Batesville
