I cannot farm without FarmRanger – Christof Botha

Christof Botha, a Free State farmer for the past 30 years near the Lesotho border, experienced a surge in livestock theft before using FarmRanger. In search of a solution, he discovered FarmRanger – and it changed everything.

Quick Support and Simple Setup

“I read about FarmRanger in the Landbouweekblad magazine, called the number advertised and spoke to Philip Lötter who explained the product in layman’s terms. FarmRanger’s office assisted me right away,” Botha explained. He emphasised that theft has gotten out of hand, but ever since he started using FarmRanger, it completely stopped. Botha states that initially, he placed collars only on his sheep, but the problem quickly shifted to his cattle. Once the cattle were equipped with FarmRanger collars, there were still disturbances during the first three months – but then, it stopped entirely.

Smart Tech that works in the Real World On the 15^th of July 2024, at 21:00 in the evening, the alarm went off multiple times. “I responded to the alert notifications and saw six people chasing my sheep. The thieves were caught and handed over to the police.” Botha states. Accurate and reliable real-time alarm notifications, updated technology that allows switching between cellphone providers, and no need for unnecessary, external base stations are a few things Botha appreciates about FarmRanger.

Botha’s advice to farmers

‘It has a cost, but it pays for itself within the first three months of use. I highly recommend farmers to consider FarmRanger – it make sense and is easy to use.’’ Botha emphasised.
