In this segment, we will demonstrate the efficient and effective use of a drone in managing goats and sheep. Goats and sheep have a natural fear of aerial predators. To reduce the fear factor, we will begin our flight by slowly moving the drone into range and hovering as steady as possible at approximately 90 feet. With repetition, the herd will also quickly become accustomed to the noise of the drone from this altitude.
