Gallagher Group

Gallagher Animal Management is a division of Gallagher Group Limited, a family-owned business founded in 1938 by Bill Gallagher Senior in Hamilton, New Zealand. The company's origin story began when Gallagher Senior invented the world's first electric fence after his horse Joe took a liking to using the family car as a scratching post. By devising an electrical circuit that delivered a harmless but startling shock whenever the horse rocked the vehicle, he solved the problem and sparked an innovation that would transform animal management worldwide.

For over 85 years, Gallagher Animal Management has been helping farmers harness the power to farm by delivering world-leading animal management solutions. The company specializes in electric fencing, animal weighing and electronic identification (EID), data collection systems, and water management technologies. From humble beginnings with a single electric fence invention, Gallagher has grown into a global technology leader with operations in over 100 countries, empowering farmers to protect their livestock and improve on-farm productivity with brilliantly simple solutions that make farm life easier and more profitable.
