This started with
our own ranch.

Open Range Systems exists because we needed it first. Everything we build, we build for ranches like ours.

01 — Our Story

We built this because no one else would.

Our family ranch was on the verge of being lost. My dad picked up the reins when no one else could—put in the years of hard work to turn it around and keep the legacy going.

Working alongside him, I saw the same problems every rancher faces: water failures you find out about too late, cattle lost in rough country, days burned driving to check on things that are fine. And I realized that digitizing the ranch wasn’t optional—it was existential. Without it, there’s no realistic path to keeping an operation like this going long-term.

So we started building. Custom hardware. Custom firmware. Direct-to-satellite connectivity from an ear tag. Sensors that don’t need babysitting. A platform that makes one person as effective as a full crew.

Everything we build, we build for ranches like ours.

02 — The Vision

Autonomous ranching.
Sensors are step one.

We’re not building a tracker. We’re building the autonomous operating system for the modern ranch—where sensors, autonomous vehicles, and AI reduce input costs, replace dangerous manual labor, and make one person as effective as a full crew.

The autonomous ranch of the future — autonomous feed trucks, drones, and cattle on open rangeland

Every animal, always visible

Location and behavior data on every head, from the most remote rangeland on Earth. Know where they are, how they’re acting, and when something changes. Ride right to the problem.

Autonomous feed & logistics

GPS-guided feed trucks that run missions into pastures autonomously—distributing feed on schedule without putting a person in a dangerous situation. Feeding cattle kills ranchers every year. It doesn’t have to.

Drones & ground robotics

Autonomous aerial surveys, fence inspection, predator monitoring. Ground systems for herding and maintenance. The crew that never sleeps and never gets hurt.

AI that learns the operation

Machine learning that optimizes rotations, predicts health events from accelerometer patterns, and manages resources—getting smarter every season from real-world data.

Let’s build this together.

We’re looking for research collaborators, strategic partners, and investors who understand that the ranching industry is ready for a step change. Tell us what you’re working on.
