Halter’s $2 Billion Question, with Founder Craig Piggott
In less than a year, New Zealand‑based Halter secured $165 million in a Series D round and a further $220 million in Series E, pushing its valuation to roughly $2 billion even as global ag‑tech funding has slumped more than 70 percent. The company’s virtual‑fencing system, which equips cattle with solar‑powered collars, has already shipped over a million units across New Zealand, Australia and the United States. Founder Craig Piggott describes the shift from a technology‑first experiment to a farmer‑first platform that promises productivity gains for pasture‑based operations. The latest financing is aimed at accelerating global expansion and cementing Halter’s position as a leader in precision livestock management.
