Farmers in New Zealand are using drones to replace dogs when herding their animals. A new drone model, the National Agricultural Fieldays, allows users to record and play sounds which can be projected using speakers. The technology allows farmers to move their stock more efficiently than through traditional methods by uploading the sound of a dog barking, with the drones also stressing the animals less than using a dog would.
