Abstract
In one embodiment of a wireless method of animal control, using animal borne wireless receivers and warning devices, the animal is warned to remain within a lobe of the transmitter station. The lobe is readily moved to facilitate herding and rotational grazing. In another embodiment, the animal is warned not to cross a line (electronic fence) defined between a pair of overlapping lobes of the transmitter station. A third overlapping lobe of radiation provides an electronic gate in the electronic fence by disabling the animal warning device within the localized region of the third lobe. Alternately energizing the pair of overlapping lobes facilitates detection of the electronic fence.
