Peter Thiel is well known for his PayPal startup and later Palantir tech investment. Most people now have a better understanding of exactly what Palantir software and AI interface are capable of. Palantir AI is now established as a core military system, and the suite of associated products have both military and commercial applications.
At its core, the Palantir product line is about interfacing AI with surveillance software; behavior stuff that permits surveillance and targeting systems through massive database cross referencing and actionable targeting. I’ll leave the rest of the explaining to those in the comments section who have followed the developing technology.
For his latest endeavor, Peter Thiel has now invested $2 billion in a New Zealand (think five-eyes) based company that assists cattle ranchers with their herds. “New Zealand-based Halter has secured funding at a $2 billion valuation from Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund, marking one of the highest-profile venture investments in agricultural AI to date. The startup, which manufactures AI-powered collars that autonomously manage cattle movement and behaviour, now operates across more than 5,000 farms globally.” (READ MORE) – AND WATCH:
This is WILD.
Peter Thiel just bet $2 billion on a collar that wraps around a cow’s neck.
The company is called Halter and it has a proprietary algorithm that runs the entire operation.
They actually trademarked the name for it and called it the Cowgorithm and here’s how it… https://t.co/jX1SVwjNs0 pic.twitter.com/JKVvQXybsC

Stay with me, this might start to sound odd.
Here’s the explanation of Halter, as it directly relates to the cattle and cow industry:
“Peter Thiel just bet $2 billion on a collar that wraps around a cow’s neck. The company is called Halter and it has a proprietary algorithm that runs the entire operation. They actually trademarked the name for it and called it the Cowgorithm and here’s how it works.
A farmer opens an app, taps a button, and 600,000 cows across three countries start walking toward the milking station on their own. No farm dogs, fences or physical labor, it’s just a solar-powered GPS collar sending sound and vibration cues to each animal.”
“The collar does more than move cows around. It monitors digestion, fertility cycles, and health patterns in real time, 24 hours a day, using machine learning trained on the behavior of hundreds of thousands of animals.
Halter was founded by a rocket engineer who built spacecraft at Rocket Lab before deciding that farming was the bigger unsolved problem. US ranchers alone have already used the technology to build over 11,000 miles of virtual fencing, roughly the full perimeter of the continental United States, saving an estimated $220 million in physical fencing costs.
Halter’s previous funding round valued the company at $1 billion. This new round, led by Thiel’s Founders Fund, doubles that valuation to $2 billion before the new money even hits the account. And they charge farmers between $5 and $8 per animal per month on a subscription model, meaning the more cows they collar, the more locked-in the revenue becomes.
The most powerful venture capitalist on earth just decided that the future of food and farming runs through an algorithm named after a cow.” (SOURCE)
Peter Thiel’s prior developmental products are all based around human behavioral sciences. Geolocation, predictive analysis, consumer patterns, behavior patterns, targeting, and the streamlined assembly of mass surveillance systems such as Palantir facial recognition software connected to identity tracking and tracing.
Why would Peter Thiel be shifting to animal behavioral sciences. Yes, there is a strong marketable product that could ultimately make cattle ranching and cow farming much more efficient and productive.
However, overlay the Halter system on cows with the Palantir system on people. Replace the cow with a human.
Let me explain what a $2 billion “cow collar” actually is 👇
They put an AI collar on a cow. It tracks location. Health. Movement. Behavior. Every second of every day.
A farmer opens an app. Draws a line on a map. That line becomes a fence.
No physical fence. No wall. Nothing visible.
When the cow gets close to the boundary.. the collar vibrates. The cow turns around. Within 10 days the animal doesn’t even test the boundary anymore. It just stays inside.
700,000 animals are already wearing them.
They called it a “cowgorithm.” They want you to laugh at it.
Now read the technology again without the word cow..
24/7 GPS tracking on every individual. Real time health and behavior monitoring. Invisible boundaries drawn from a phone. Movement controlled through vibration and sound. Subject learns compliance within days.
$2 billion. And guess who led the investment…
Peter Thiel. The same man who built Palantir. CIA backed surveillance from day one. The same man who just got a $10 billion Pentagon contract to run AI inside the military.
His entire career is building systems that track and control. Now he’s funding a collar that does exactly that.
They’re not investing in farming. The farming is the test. (SOURCE)
Where did the most aggressive testing of COVID-19 population control systems, and COVID-19 vaccination compliance take place? Australia and New Zealand. Five-Eyes countries.
Sound crazy?
So did this at the time:
Palantir at $150 to $200 before the '26 midterms.

So, the “cow collar” will eventually be for us? OMG!
Governments and corporations view the general population as “cows”. Ordinary people as resources to be managed, exploited for productivity (taxes, labor, consumption), controlled through systems, and ultimately “milked” or culled when no longer useful.
Don’t comply. Don’t be a cow.
Teddy wasn’t wrong. He just went about alerting everyone the wrong way.
Tampon Tim: “You see those maps red and blue and there’s all that red across there Democrats go into depression over it it’s mostly rocks and cows that are in that red area.”
CASH COWS VIA TAXATION, FEES AND PERMITS
Now a bit of parental humor…even with phone trackers, any parent of an adolescent or older teen, will tell that it is next to impossible to track a teen who does not want to be tracked by their parents?
They could not do it with the clot shot nano particles, mandates or lockdowns…don’t these people realize we are ‘on to them’?
Hey Sis – here’s a valuable gem of knowledge along those lines…
Even if you disconnect and terminate fully your phone plan – if you have a smartphone – the following are still functional:
1) In my state of Indiana – a person can still use the smartphone to dial 911 services – thus emergency personnel are still within reach – and thus likely our cell phone will still ping local cell towers.
2) All social media apps that have been loaded will still function as long as you have WIFI access anywhere. You can post, direct message, and still communicate with all parties on your social media platforms.
3) Within those social media apps – if the person’s location access is inadvertently left “on” even for those who seek to go into hiding – others in your social media sphere can see you… wherever you go. With some apps – the tracker can see you physically walk around, see your position moving from one geographical place marker to another, and can even see when you are charging your phone and at what percentage your phone battery is at.
Interesting that you can “shut off” a phone – but never, ever, ever really turn it off. We are captured and geofenced into submission. The government will never let us be… alone.
I have two cell phones both with removable battery and even with internal backup eventually becomes inert.
The only way to turn off an ifone is with a BFH.
phone model please
BFH?
Big Fat Hammer?
One is an old ATT flip-phone bought off amazon for $50.
The other is a Pinephone powered by Linux that not only has remvablle battery but also hard switches to turn off various functions.
One day while finishing a rebuild on a Cat D-10 R 150,000 lb machine with 6” ice GROUSERS I dropped my phone while moving the machine outside I ran over the phone and it still rang. LOL a BFH and it still worked.
Most major phone manufacturers discontinued the option to remove the battery. That was literally the only way to be sure your phone was really “off”.
Dont think iPhones ever had that option; however, my Samsung Note4 did.
Damn,,, I didn’t know they were Making Cows that are Smarter Than our Kids…
I Thought they waited to College to do that to them.!?!?!?
Re behavior monitoring
I did not get paid.
Over 40 years ago on a dairy farm ( cows )
I noticed ( eyes and mind, low tech )
that cows would enter the milking barn ( am and pm )
and each cow had its favorite stall ( where to stand for milking ).
Similarly, only different, for years and years,
in an office building
where humans gather to work ( some, more than others )
I noticed that when a meeting was called in a conference room,
that each person had its favorite chair ( to attend the mtg ).
p.s.
I said that to some humans-
and they changed their behavior
( but, over time, weeks, settled back into going to their favorite chair. )
Not sure why a collar is needed.
A lot of cows and people have natural habits.
[ oh, is it to change behaviors ?
Well, as said above, it can already happen – at no charge. Proven ]
Sadly,
the creatures of habit in government funded Medicare health insurance seem to be habitually confusing and complicated on enrollment, coverage options etc. etc.( while pretending to know it all – like it is an untold, routine behavior habit with job $ecurity – at the cost to taxpayers, again. )
p.s.maybe a dairy farmer can have a sick or vacation day with the high tech.
( previously a spouse, children or neighbor would fill in ) : )
Imho
Love thy neighbors
It’s the less compliant such as you find here at TCH that they’re thinking about.
A Lot of People already Wear one around their Finger or Wrist, or Glucose Monitor.
Just a matter of time, before we are SOYLENT GREEN.!!!
Eventually? The Federal Board of Prisons has used bracelets and anklets tethered to cell phones for years. Electronic geographic fences keep humans in the pasture of choice.
There exists a much larger than you would believe cohort of women that proudly wear the “slave” collar their “master’ put upon them.
I dated a devout Catholic woman with 3 great children whom eventually dropped me because I couldn’t wrap my head around the idea.
If I had it to do over again…
The point being people won’t need convincing to ware a slave collar.
a lot of people
I’ve got to make sure I have a shirt that will fit that collar 😀
Apple iCollar
Hmmm
Ora ring, Fitbit, whoop, Apple Watches, glasses
Gps, kill switches and cameras etc in vehicles
Phones
Home appliances.
What else fits in the parameters?
And you have volunteers for all of it !
I’m guilty of it , unfortunately some of it is hard to part with.
Sometimes we are our own worst enemies.
When marketing the product, it fits in with current circumstance, usually offering financial return or ‘convenience’…(gas station loyalty cards for example, give both)…and voila, we buy into it…am guilty too.
Yes, many of us are. We love “entertainment”, addiction to tv, phones, email, and we make that choice every day.
Cashless purchases.
It is funny, my appliances keep trying to connect with the house wifi. I wont connect it. But in the future, it won’t work unless you do. Those GE colored appliances and that before 2005 car looking more valuable than that damn tech stock, every day.
My ‘02 Silverado will be with me until death do us part. The 2016 Porsche Cayenne diesel is a different story.
Siri and Alexa are ALWAYS listening.
All those are choices!
It’s already happening in China. Just a matter of time until the EU gets in on the tyrannical human herding fun. Will you take the mark of the beast or not? I have no doubt it will be marketed as “free” and come with a new cell phone as a “gift.”
I Will Not Comply.
^^ <That is about all I want/need to say, I think.
GOD Bless us all, ‘cuz we need it.
MN, unfortunately, will be early in compliance and enforcement I think. Such a beautiful state with so much potential and such foolish leaders.
Amen
And you won’t be able to buy or sell, get medical treatment, etc, etc, without it!
What’s the matter? Don’t you want to be happy?
Better to enter Heaven a bit early than gain a few extra years here but then spend eternity in Perdition.
Sounds like a contemporary and future definition of Hell.
“Hell” is a loaded term, offensive to Satan. To be referred to as “The Good Place”.
From the torrent of his perspiration and the weird protruding veins on this dude, I assume he is already hooked up to something.
I read things online like “Thiel was in a long-term relationship with model Jeff Thomas until Thomas’s suicide in March 2023.”
FILTHY LIBERALS
Always welcoming the new Oppressor
Well managed dairies have been using automation to track cows for years. It should be understood that a dairy cow is very much a creature of habit, and doesn’t wander too far from the milking parlor. In larger operations the cows spend their adult lives under cover either eating, sleeping, or heading to the milking machines, typically all under one roof. These are animals that have been domesticated for so long that they have little, if any instinct left for survival on their own. Once at the machines an RFID tag on their collar helps the system track milk production, track where the animal is in the heat cycle, and other management requirements
The cows are not being controlled by their tags, they are simply being monitored. It’s a powerful efficiency tool for the dairy farmer.
They are claiming use for ranching.
And yet dairy cows weren’t mentioned once in the content.
FTA:
“A farmer opens an app, taps a button, and 600,000 cows across three countries start walking toward the milking station on their own.”
Imagine the waiting line at the dairy barn!
City folk think “until the cows come home” means a long long time, they are wrong. Milk cows get milked twice a day, in the morning and then late afternoon. They come home on their own cause not being milked is very painful.
They claim that the milk production has risen with the automated method.
Are “they” the ones who are selling it?
After China virus we trust very few “they”.
Not a huge step from smart phones and social media. One more reason to stay healthy and stay away from anything “doctors” want to prescribe.
I raise beef cattle in Florida, We don’t have a lot of use for data services.
You will when the government mandates them.
Do people know how dumb a cow is ?
There is no way placing a collar around its neck without something directly connected to the brain will make a cow do anything or remember anything.
These is a seriously nefarious outcome to this and the cow isn’t it.
Has anyone listened to The Peter speak recently ?
He has the Mark Warner shaking in his limbs and his voice and he looks like shit.
Cows are NOT dumb, but they obviously have you fooled.
My cousin had a ranching operation. Every evening he’d flip a switch on a conveyor which delivered corn from the silo to the feed troughs. Hearing the sound, the cattle in the fields would immediately make their way to the barn, double-time.
Cows may not be intellectual giants, but they are conditioned like any other animals.
Taking a brief break from my break to simply note pattern recognition, and an “oh, there it is.”
Kuru
How appropriate for the cannibals.
https://neurophilosophy.wordpress.com/2008/08/11/the_shaking_death_cjd_epidemic/
“These people are sick.”
Oh.
Kuru has a long lead time. Years. Maybe a decade or more. The Fauci crowd experimented on that time lag using children who were “accidentally” injected with human growth drugs that were contaminated with Kuru.
Say, maybe the Epstein (hmm, World Kitchen, Jose Andres?) beef jerky was not DNA tested quite enough?
“These people are sick.”
Oops, there it is.
I wonder how many of them know it? How many have already expired? If you ever ingested children based products, would you be sleeping at all, if you knew?
Who here votes for Howie Mandel having restful nights lately? 5HOES, Howie. Good on ya. Ha.
Would we recognize kuru if we saw its symptoms among the gerontocracy? I doubt it.
For those who have been here long enough, some time back I posted a deep dive into kuru, the clot shots, documented rapid CJD cases post-jab, and associated persons and topics, including one notorious pedophile “scientist” and also the novel spread of chronic wasting disease among deer in the US.
Dr. Michael Osterholm in Minnesota, friend of the WHO medical tyranny bureaus, is fascinated with the subject, I believe.
“These people are sick.”
Yes. See the whole Epstein crowd for proofs.
And, perhaps, yes indeed.
Prion diseases are notorious. There is no cure for it once it is contracted.
Anyone remember the Mad Cow disease outbreak years ago? Yep, same culprit. Then consider how it ended up that dead cows ended up into processing for feed to other cows.
Symptom of cannibalism?
I know the initial investor in Halter personally. They’ve been in it for maybe 8 years. This is not how it started but who knows what Theils intentions are. They are absolute rock solid Christian folks.
Not surprising. We have always been the cattle.
If you’re not the one buying it, then you’re the one for sale.
“Contrary to common belief even among the educated, Huxley and Orwell did not prophesy the same thing. Orwell warns that we will be overcome by an externally imposed oppression. But in Huxley’s vision, no Big Brother is required to deprive people of their autonomy, maturity and history. As he saw it, people will come to love their oppression, to adore the technologies that undo their capacities to think.
What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one. Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information. Huxley feared those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and egoism.
Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us. Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance. Orwell feared we would become a captive culture. Huxley feared we would become a trivial culture, preoccupied with some equivalent of the feelies, the orgy porgy, and the centrifugal bumblepuppy.
As Huxley remarked in Brave New World Revisited, the civil libertarians and rationalists, who are ever on the alert to oppose tyranny, “failed to take into account man’s almost infinite appetite for distractions.” In 1984, Huxley added, people are controlled by inflicting pain. In Brave New World, they are controlled by inflicting pleasure. In short, Orwell feared that what we hate will ruin us. Huxley feared that what we love will ruin us. This book is about the possibility that Huxley, not Orwell, was right.”
It’s just to help farmers…
It’s just to reduce crime…
It’s just to keep you connected to your loved ones…
When it comes to people, they won’t need to bolt it around someone’s neck. Most people will gladly put it around their wrist or under their skin, because it will be sold to them as a convenience.
“Most people will gladly put it around their wrist…….”
The Apple watch and Fitbit come to mind.
I’m a gadgeteer since crystal sets and vacuum tubes and I would love a fitness monitor but absolutely not as they all (that I can find) require a fone and an app and data storage on someone else’s computer otherwise known as the “cloud”.
Even if you are a paying customer you are still being sold.
So, in a nutshell … the messages and philosophies of Orwell and Huxley are actually complementary …. with masters exploiting the apathy and complacency of those seeking the convenience.
“Huxley feared we would become a trivial culture, preoccupied with some equivalent of the feelies, the orgy porgy, and the centrifugal bumblepuppy.”
Huxley must have had a premonition, a vision of a populace walking into lamp posts while staring at a cell phone screen.
Make it fun and explorative. Just like DNA testing! Uh, no thank you. Not that the cabal does not already have it. A lot of people made sure they reconfirmed.
Was reading an extensive paper on -bloodtype. Since the earlier part of the 20th century there has been an extensive ongoing study of people in this country born with – blood. For all sorts of reasons.
Pain is for short term.
Pleasure the long term.
“Huxley’s vision, no Big Brother is required to deprive people of their autonomy, maturity and history. As he saw it, people will come to love their oppression, to adore the technologies that undo their capacities to think.” But why would they? Huxley answered that question by describing the process of developing society’s caste system and creating a population easily manipulated in work and pleasure by the elites (Alphas and Betas).
The Central Hatchery & Conditioning Centre was run by Alphas (the “future world controllers”) in the societal caste system and they controlled the oxygen (“Nothing like oxygen-shortage for keeping an embryo below par.” and “The lower the caste, the shorter the oxygen.”) directed to the embryos in order to fashion the Gammas, Deltas, and Epsilons. The elites were fashioning a society directly depriving the population of their autonomy, maturity, and history “…in Epsilons, we don’t need human intelligence.” I see our public education system as already doing the job of the Central Hatchery by depriving our children of the oxygen (information, critical thinking skills, etc.) needed to be more than just Epsilons.
You
Are
Sooooooo
Right.
…(out of fear) the recent human behaviors to accept, mask wearing, c-virus jab, social distancing, accepted coerced jab to keep job,
(not) working from home, accepting that they could not visit their ill loved in a care center, hospital…. etc.
[about 75% of the population accepted, adapted to the quick change … and the other 20-25% figured that they had better be quiet about their wise choice, or else they would be outed ( or they lived in remote places and / or already ‘worked’ from home )…]
I. AM. NOT. A. COW. Ummm…Mark of the beast?
Probably has a little explosive embedded like the evil pagers Is Fake planted for the end user when they no longer require you
Number of the beast.
The microchip and “invisible fence” have been in use for decades for our pets.
Will the new human tracker end up being injected or worn as a collar…
obviously collars can come off, so I think we know the answer.
mark of the beast.
the technology is being fine-tuned, but “they” have already made great progress, as noted.
I mentioned yesterday, that there had been an article that referenced and equated the explosion of technology with the end of times…the technology advancements, sure make it believable.
I read that probably 15-20 years ago and cannot remember where but the author made a believable connection between the two.
Way back around 1978, I was in a grocery store in Nashville. Check-out scanners had just been introduced.
The elderly black man in front of me in line watched the cashier wave items over the screen while the robot voice announced prices.
He turnd to me and said “My oh my. A talking cash register. The Bible says that in the Last Days man will become wiser but weaker.”
It was in that same store on another occasion that I saw Dawn Wells buying produce.
My daughter had a rebel female dog within a buried electric fence. The dog learned to laydown away but close enough for the fence to weakly go into a constant discharge state. The dog would lay there until the fence battery totally discharged and then the dog would walk away. Maybe we can learn from that.
Besides, when last in New Zeland, all I ever saw in the country was sheep and sheep dogs. Must be more profitable to raise beef cattle now.
I had an employer who was a double-minded, duplicitous christian, little “c”. They had a beautiful red German Shepherd who I adored. That poor dog had one of those invisible fence collars and it was so sad and lonely that it crossed the fence line, ventured gingerly into my office and crawled under my desk – all while getting the crap shocked out of her. I was FURIOUS. I myself got shocked getting that f’ing collar off of her poor neck. She was so obedient, she didn’t need that f’ing collar. She would follow me anywhere and would listen when I called to her. It was all about power. And this is all this is – all about POWER. Peter Thiel is a tranhumanist homosexual who does not believe in God or the natural order of things. Or – he may believe in God – but simply not care – as he has exhaulted himself to self-imposed diety. DemonRAT or RepubliCANT – all the same beasts feeding at the taxpayer trough and gorging themselves on power. F. them.
Sorry – it’s a lot of “F” but my point is clearly made. F them.
Never apologize.
You friends don’t need it and you enemies won’t believe you and see you as week.
F’m
The collar/necklace/watch/app would just be the initial humiliation ritual. The chip will be delivered via mosquito bite, and my guess is at the point it will be cloaked so nothing can remove it or deactivate it.
In fact, it will vote Democrat for you, even long after you’re dead.
Ultimately, it will be implanted during birth.
Our neighbors used an invisible fence to keep their Boxer confined to the yard. It didn’t take long for it to find a weak spot and leap over the buried wire. It was a sweet dog named Ruby.
They have something similar for diabetics, the Eversense continuous glucose monitor. The sensor is embedded under one’s skin and ‘lasts a year’ versus 10-15 days with others. As the sensor reads blood sugar levels the sensor communicates with the transmitter, which is attached on the outside of patient, which sends its reading to a receiver the patient is carrying or an app on their smart phone. The other models of continuous glucose monitors, Freestyle Libre and Dexcom, also have an app to where blood sugar readings can be transmitted to patient’s smart phone or have the sensor communicate to a receiver. And then the receiver or smart phone can be attached to your PC where the diabetic logs into their individual account with the brand they are using and uploads their blood sugar readings for a set time period say previous 14-21 days. Smart phones probably have apps to where you don’t need a PC you just log into account with phone and upload readings into patient account.
Currently most insurance and Medicare plans only authorize these for insulin dependent diabetics, which defines typical Type 1 but some Type 2. As the obesity epidemic consumes more and more medical services and the cost becomes astronomical one can see cgms being required for obese Type 2 diabetics with constraints like upload readings before filling next diabetes script.
The technology is there they just have to tweek it for nefarious purposes.
this is what scares the crap out of me.
the whole smartphone–> pt. account, then your rx is limited by what ‘they’ decide.
“we see you ate too much sugar” or fill in the blank.
Setting aside any concerns about government/technocrat control over such systems, these medical devices present basic risks.
If it sends and receives signals, then it’s on a network. If it’s on a network, it can be hacked by criminals.
Someone, someday, is going to be on trial for hacking or electronically into a glucose monitor or a pacemaker and causing someone’s death. It’s going to happen.
This is the same guy who gave a 4-part lecture series on the Anti-Christ…in Rome. So this new business venture, and it’s downstream dystopia, tracks with his history.
Sweet Jesus these people are evil.
Evil yes but the boxcars filled right up didn’t they ?
Mostly because people were naive and too trusting of authorities saying it was for their good and many went along with it without even questioning it.
They were also disarmed.
In the one instance they realized, even if they couldn’t win, they could throw sand in the gears, it took 3 Nazi divisions off the front lines for weeks to bring the warsaw ghetto uprising under control.
Of course they killed everyone in the ghetto, but that was their plan all along anyway.
One will not fare much better being armed this time around. You will be starved into submission among other tactics, so best be prepared for it with fellows of like mind.
Hope for the best, prepare for the worst, and pray to God for everything else.
Many people had questions, but many more ignored the little voice in their heads *warning* them to steer clear of the mark.
I did not ignore that little voice. And I knew in my soul that the plandemic was only round one.
Round one was fairly easy (for the faithful) but 70-80 percent have already failed the test. It will only get worse from here.
I am under no illusions that remaining “fully” human will be an easy road. The easy road is filled with bleating sheep (and now cattle, apparently) but they are all headed somewhere we must. not. follow.. even if it costs us everything in *this* lifetime.
Steadfast.
God has promised He will *not* forsake His people. It will be the other way around: The wide/ easy gate is an illusion we must not indulge.
The narrow gate is harder. It is that much harder because only faith -not fear- will illuminate our path to eternal salvation.
Excellent !
Thank you !!
🎯
Exactly the point.
Covid showed the naive.
I have been wondering why I walk around my property and never seem to leave and go anywhere else.
They will have to put me down before I allow them any technology into my body. Its bad enough I own a cell phone, and I use this computer to get the news,
“……….and I use this computer to get the news,”
And in so doing you can take the time to analyze what’s being presented, and to seek alternate views as you determine on your own what is real and what is imaginary. That’s exactly what the Peter Thiels of this world do not want. Be careful or they’ll put you in a quiet corner for a while. You may have had too much to think………….
Same here.
This is a great idea. I have been doing research for use on my cattle grazing land. When you run the numbers to refence 1000 acres of land it looks very inviting. Fencing has gotten astronomically expensive. So far those that use Halter have given it a thumbs up, the only complaint is the cost per head. There are several competing systems on the market so it is not just Peter Thiel that is working on these systems.
Like I stated earlier run the cost of refencing and the benefit of changing pasture on the fly and it becomes readily apparent why they are doing this. I would not read too much into it as a stand alone cattle management system it works very well according to the users and eventually will replace fencing and the high costs involved.
And why is the cost of fencing high?
Would it have anything to do with the economic policies implemented by politicians whose careers are underwritten by the tech oligarchs pushing these new systems?
This is how they nudge us into accepting their preferred outcomes. But don’t take my word for it:
The world has never been here before. That sounds like hyperbole, but think about it. Think about it. This truly is one of those inflection points in history. All the pieces on the board are moving, both in terms of the — the relationships among and between nations, as well as the pieces about what employment future people have. How do we do this?
And so, this is a confusing time. But I promise — I promise the American people: I have one focus, “How do we give you some breathing room? How do we get YOU to the point where WE take pressure off YOU so YOU can begin to GET BACK to a degree of normality and WE MOVE TO A DIFFERENT PLACE?”
The oligarchs pursue policies which raise the cost of fencing (pressure) to force adoption of their systems (getting the target to the point) and thereby moving everyone to a different place, where the new “normality” is only a degree of the old normality.
Anything made of steel has gone up in price. Metal fence posts, wire stays. No secret here, really no hidden agenda…just like everything else prices go up…not down.
The collared cow can’t leave the invisible fence but the predator can enter.
I pasture full grown beef cows. In my neck of the woods there are not too many critters that mess with them. If you have calves mixed in with them then yes but most everyone keeps their calves in separate pastures that are relatively safe until they are large enough to transfer.
Hey! Is that some kind of arch reference to current events in the UK?
Why does it have to be a subscription model, anyway? Dog GPS for wandering dogs requires a monthly sub, but the GPS fence system doesn’t. And the boundaries can be altered at any time.
The only problem we face as a small beef farm is when spring comes and the posts pop out of the ground and the 9-5 job ends early to round them up and pound in posts that will pop up somewhere else another day. Wonder if they have part time use. lol. Sometimes the bull decides the grass is greener on the other side too.
Yeah, just as soon as I started reading this article, my mind switched from cows to humans. I live in cattle country. And because of that, I don’t think that the collar just ‘vibrates’. A 2000 pound animal doesn’t pay attention to ‘vibration’. But they do pay attention to electric shocks, like in electric fences. I suspect that the ‘vibration’ that the collar gives, is an unpleasant experience. Even with electric fences, just a thin wire across your field boundary, one shock from that wire, and the cow never goes near it again. My point being, when this moves to a human system, it is not just a pleasant vibration that will keep you behaving properly.
On a more positive note, various scientists believe that at some point during this century, our sun will ‘micronova’, completely destroying our electrical system, a good portion of humanity, and life as we currently know it. When I read about the future that we are supposed to be getting, whether by surveillance or otherwise, I think of that micronova, and feel relieved.
Back in the 60’s grandpa’s collie on command would go roundup his 20 holstiens for afternoon milking if they weren’t coming in quick enough. I want a time machine.
And 40 some odd years ago, New Zealand was very proud to be the home of a ‘million nuclear free sheep’…My dad even got the T shirt.
Dad was also the son of a very poor dairy farmer, back in the day…wonder what he would think?
So SD it’s like herding cattle is what you’re saying. Wait till they get to the cats and dogs. 😏
😎 it was fun as a kid though. Tipping cattle. Three boys around 8 years old pushing over a cow and running from the stampede. Those were the days. Maybe the new generations will cut the collars and then tip over the cow. Changes the whole cowgorithym. Have to wait and see what kind of stampede takes place after?! 😁🤷🏼♂️
Put those collars on elected officials and let the voting citizenry (majority) create the algorithm for behavior modification and work efforts.
Treehouse winning post of the day!
GOOD ONE!
…and untold, it’s a different rule for elected officials. they do not mind making rules for the peasants, that do not apply to those in d c.
-they have a different health care plan,
-they have high security, (paid for by tax payers)
-their food bill is covered by government (tax payers),
-99 times out of a hundred, they are not held accountable for malfeasance etc.
etc.
If they put shiny jewels on them, affluent college educated liberal women will buy them up like crazy.
Then we can herd them all off a cliff.
Sounds like that sci-fi movie, “Wedlock”.
Hitler would have loved this.
Say what you will about Palantir & co., (and be glad that you still can) ….
Because I’m far more concerned about the freedom to speak/write/talk about him or any other power broker in the negative remaining in tact. That untarnished as yet freedom of speech includes here on this site, on any social platforms, in any print or broadcast media, or otherwise.
Why am I worried? Just look across the pond. And at the quote unquote “5 Eyes”
states(4 states, one sovereign nation) for the “reasons.”Paranoid? I sure hope so!
Seriously….what will these people gonna do to have a fulfilled life when they get through with inventing ways to neuter, kill and control whats left.. They will have AI and Robotics to do all the jobs, no need for wars, nothing left for them to steal. Will whats left of us be for entertainment and organ harvesting? Resembles parts of te Hunger Games.
Respectfully disagree. I do believe they will always find a reason for war.
So I guess we will just throw the US Constitution into the toilet.
Nothing like this is needed imo, but OF course it has a subscription fee…. buy a product, then pay out the nose to use it for however long it lasts.
(fill-in-the-blank) as a service is about guaranteed revenue, ie renting the widget forever with no ownership.
Updates bricked it? Got to pay $$$ for the new model with “enhancements” even though the old one was technically serviceable if not for want of parts or other.
Looks like the pigs are using the cow to control the sheep.
Is the “cow collar” the modern day representation of the “Mark of the Beast? What happens to those who do NOT wish to be monitored 24/7? We all saw the trial run during C0v1d…did we learn our lesson then?
I’m 68 years old. I walk every day 3-4 miles.
I don’t need a cow collar to turn around and head home.
I am a creature of habit and rarely roam more than 50 miles from my residence at any given time.
This technology is not for people like me.
It will be if the government says it is. Want to opt-out? Good luck getting access to your bank accounts, retirement funds, gas, food, medical care, etc.
You’d have to live like Ted Kaczynski to opt-out. Most people won’t have a choice, just like with the Covid jabs. No jab, no job.
Human beings always have a choice to make. But I would caution that the prophecies regarding soul death be very carefully considered, as they direct His lost sheep toward the One, true path, whereas fear and confusion will most certainly obscure it.
Please do not equate a $2B valuation with investing $2B in something
Why does Peter want to know where I am?
… just bet $2 billion on a device that is inserted in a person’s neck. The company is called Alter and it has a proprietary algorithm that runs the entire operation.
An operator opens an app, taps a button, and people across three countries awaken feeling refreshed, motivated, and free of pesky self-doubt or lethargy. No alarm clocks, phone reminders, or motivational speeches. It’s just a GPS device sending cues directly to the brain. A boon to economic growth and happiness among the populace.
Alter does more than move people around. It monitors digestion, fertility cycles, thoughts, attitudes, and health patterns in real time, 24 hours a day, using machine learning trained on the behavior of hundreds of thousands of people.
Terrifying
SD, I think the next testing ground for humans of this technology will be prisons or like brought back mental institution. From there all Humans and beyond are their target
It is already here and they are using it on our youth. We are three generations into the testing already. Can’t you tell? (not being smarmy – I’m fully serious.)
Cows might not be smart, but I have seen milking cows head off to be milked without any human or dog or any help at all.
The invisible fence part would help, but I don’t know about the relative costs.
Curious if it works on determined bulls? I have seen bulls staring at adjacent fields with heifers while ignoring the cows in his field. For some humans, the vibration or shock might just be part of the thrill.
I’m no dairy expert, but I think you are very correct about the cows. Some of these larger dairies have automatic milking stations that the cows go to when they get full. Having a full udder is very uncomfortable and somehow these cows get trained to enter these milking stations when they feel full. The entire thing is automatic. It’s totally cool to see and cows are not stupid critters….. they know where the food is and they know how to dump the milk.
We don’t have a clue what we are ingesting.
What about the happy cow is a producing cow?
This article from ten years ago says serotonin is a naturally occurring chemical then later tells you they give the cow a chemical that converts to serotonin.
It does not say this latter chemical is natural.
Idk. We are living in weird times.
Maybe we will finally go the ‘Last Mile for Broadband’ because rural areas still don’t have non-interruptive internet even though we have funded it for 20-plus years. That’s some public money that should be audited, but I digress.
I have no idea about NZ but that’s prolly handled by Thiel’s buddy Musk and Starlink.
There is a lot of depressing crap anymore.

Can He Track these Damn Iranian and Russian Tankers, so we Can Seize them or BLOW THEM UP.!?!?!?
I had an invisible fence installed around my yard 40 to 45 years ago to keep my dog in and not have to build a fence around my yard. My dog would get close to the yard’s edge, and the collar would start to shock him making him back away from the invisible fence. It worked wonderfully.
Clock is Ticking on “LIGHTS OUT” in IRGC Land…

NO T.A.C.O. Tuesday TRUMP.!!!
GET IT ON, and GET IT OVER.!!!
A terrorist opens an app and 600,000 cows go boom!
Pass the earthworms please.
Rush used to play a joke where Gore tried to stopper up cows to prevent them from emitting greenhouse gasses. Same result. Boom!
Halter’s collars replace traditional fencing by using GPS positioning, audio cues, and mild electrical pulses to guide cattle. The system learns individual animal behavior patterns through machine learning algorithms, enabling farmers to remotely manage grazing patterns, track health metrics, and optimize pasture utilization through a smartphone application.
Change ‘collars’ with iPhone and find that everyone with a phone is being tracked and all of their information can be accessed.
NOW WHO IS BEING LED AROUND?
AI has already made everything you see, read, or hear untrustworthy. It will only get much worse. Many of the comments on websites are AI generated and social media has been overrun by AI garbage. You cannot trust any picture or video you see. Even long stories and biographies of people are 100% made-up trash in some cases.
You don’t need to be Einstein to see how bad this can get when AI has unlimited access to all of your personal information.
Will these collars work on people Congress? Or are they already being “lead”?
Only Problem IS;
Got to have Humans that are SMART Enough to Take off the Collars,
Before they CHOP the Cows Head OFF at the NECK..!!!
