Press “Pastures” in the main menu, this is what you should see:
Click on the + sign in the top right corner, and follow the instructions in app. This will take you to a map. You can choose between several map types – satellite map, standard map and aerial photos. The blue dot on the map is your current position. Put your finger down on the place where you want to drop your first virtual fence post. This can be adjusted later, so it is not critical to get the position right to start with.
Keep tapping to position the other virtual fence posts. After the third post the app will create a polygon. If you keep adding posts the pasture will expand. You can adjust the position of the posts by holding them down and moving them around. To delete a post, press it followed by the trash bin symbol. Once you are happy with the design of your first Nofence pasture press SAVE in the right corner, and give it a name.
Useful tip: read our section in good pasture design to master your new fencing method: Good pasture design.
Exclusion zones
Use exclusion zones to close off areas of the pasture that you want to prevent the animals from entering, such as dangerous cliffs/drops, shelters, waterways or marshland.
To create exclusion zones inside the pasture, go to the Pastures option in the menu and select the pasture you want to edit. Press Edit pasture boundary, followed by the symbol for exclusion zones on the lower left. Three choices will appear, press New exclusion zone. Create the exclusion zone in the same way as you created your pasture. Be aware that all exclusion zones must be inside the boundaries of a pasture, and you can create a maximum of nine exclusion zones per pasture. Press “Save exclusion zone” on the top right when you are satisfied. You will return to “Editing pastures”.
Remember to press Save on the top right on the next screen, and confirm by pressing Save, and update collars, otherwise the changes will be discarded.
Do you want to change an exclusion zone? Go to the pasture that you want to edit, chose “Edit pasture boundary” and press on the exclusion zone symbol again. Opt for “Edit exclusion zone” and then press on the exclusion zone you want to change.
To delete an exclusion zone, choose “Delete exclusion zone” and then press on the exclusion zone you want to delete. Remember to press Save again in order to keep the changes you have made.
Copy pasture
You can also copy your pastures. Go to your pastures and click on the pasture you want to copy. Then press on the square on the top right corner and make a copy. The copy will then be added to your list of pastures.
