How Gallagher is Helping South African Farmers Keep Up with Technology

Introduction 

Technology is changing the farming industry, and South African farmers are quickly adapting. Gallagher, a global leader in fencing and animal management technology, is playing a key role in this transformation. Deon de Jager from Live Track is excited about the new Gallagher technology coming to South Africa and how it is helping farmers improve efficiency. 

Background 

Live Track, based in the Western Cape, was founded six years ago. The company specializes in manufacturing cattle and sheep kraals, as well as crates designed to support digital weighing systems. Their solutions include electronic identification, app-based data collection, and data-driven selection. 

Two and a half years ago, Live Track partnered with Gallagher after searching for the best technology to complement their products. Gallagher stood out as one of the most respected companies in the industry, offering advanced technology that aligned perfectly with Live Track’s goals. 

The Solution 

Live Track’s most popular product is the Gallagher wireless load bars and TW Weighscale range. According to Deon, these products are highly user-friendly, making them a favorite among their clients. Live Track not only installs these products but also provides training and maintenance to ensure farmers get the most out of their investment. 

The Impact 

Deon attributes much of Live Track’s success in 2024 to Gallagher’s technology. He explains that while Live Track focuses on manufacturing steelwork and weigh crates, Gallagher’s products add significant value to their offering. Farmers appreciate the convenience and efficiency that Gallagher’s technology brings to their operations. 

Gallagher’s customer support also stands out. Deon highlights that whenever a technical issue arises, the Gallagher team is quick to respond. This level of service strengthens their partnership and ensures smooth operations for their clients. 

Future  

Deon is optimistic about the future of their collaboration with Gallagher. He believes their relationship will continue to grow as Gallagher introduces even more advanced products to the South African market. 

He also notes that farmers are rapidly adopting new technology, often surprising Live Track with their willingness to innovate. According to Deon, a happy farmer is one who doesn’t need to call for support—something he sees often thanks to the reliability of Gallagher’s products. 

Conclusion 

Gallagher’s advanced technology and strong support system have helped Live Track enhance its offerings and improve the efficiency of South African farmers. As technology continues to shape the future of farming, partnerships like this will ensure that local farmers stay ahead in an evolving industry.
