A farmer uses drone to round up sheep in New Zealand

A farmer in New Zealand has come up with an unique way to round up his sheep by using a special drone he modified after buying it from a child.
Brett Sanders has attached a horn and a siren to the drone, to get 2,000 merino ewes moving across his 29,000 acre farm, while he waits for them on his motorbike with his faithful dog at the other end.
"It's a stress free way of doing things, and saves time in the process," Sanders was quoted as saying by Stuff Online.
Using the device also allows him to keep an extra pair of eyes on the sheep, as he easily can check on the flock.

With only one other employee to help run the farm, the technology saves his time mustering the animals, and has also made it easier to check on his flock.
He once discovered that a ram was stuck in a fence, and managed to find and rescue it thanks to the drone.

His interest in drones started after he bought one secondhand from a child. Since then he has imported and added different frames, motors and other parts to his drone.
"I turned the wife's pantry into a drone building facility to modify it. I'm not sure she's too happy about that. It's just an added tool I use for certain things. There is huge potential," he said.

Drone does not only help him manage the sheep, it also gives amazing footage of the stunning landscape in New Zealand.
