\begin{abstract}
The Fenceless Grazing Collar System is an application of the LoRa and
LoRaWAN internet of things technologies to animal farming. It will be
implemented as a collar with which each individual farm animal will be
equipped. The fenceless grazing system must be capable of precisely
tracking high numbers of farm animals, controlling
these animals using sound and electric shocks, and allowing end users
(typically farmers) to monitor the animals and adjust their desired
location.

?? \todo{Finish this} The desired user base for the FGC application are farmers who own livestock that
require constant grazing. These farmers would tend to have large fields in which
their livestock feed. Additionally, they may not be familliar with the advanced
usage of electronics (including smartphones or hardware).
