The Drone Cowboy was having some fun herding the cows in for the night with my Dji  Mavic3

Well that saves walking out to them.  

Like the brown one

A lot cheaper than a helicopter-nice fun video

Thank you so much guys

Fun video to watch.    I never could pick out the alpha cow (if there was one).  The younger calves seemed to have a ton of energy.

I believe there is a pecking order among the cows, but its more like who has the most seniority in the herd, rather than who is alpha,  there is always a bunch of stubborn cows who refuse to follow the heard back to the barn.

We have learned it easier to bring the cows in with the drone than having to round em up with the ATV.
the cows see the drone over head and seem to know its time for return home.
I would dare say in the winter most farmers try to keep their cows near run-in sheds or feed barns to protect the younger cows from the elements, there has been a lot of winter calves this year. and a few more mamma cows are about to give birth,  these are not my cows these were my neighbors herd we had rounded up in the late fall.

Growing up on a farm I can attest to the fact that there will always be a few stubborn cows.  We didn't have ATVs but I had a great working horse and a super smart border collie.  Together we normally got the cows back to the barn nightly.

Dogs are wonderful creatures to have on the farm, we have a German short-hair pointer named Kota he's 5 now., he thinks he is the human and we are his pets.  super smart dog.  he get the goats back in the pen if they escape which is daily ..lol , he watches over the chicken house like its his,  one evening Kota went head to head with a muskrat that he killed my husband told me that was trying to raid the chicken coop.

No doubt about dogs being valuable on the farm.

Wow, those are fantastic paintings.  

Totally enjoyed watching them head back home and those paintings are beautiful.

For you, no doubt
The cows, maybe not so much

Fun way to bring in the heard. You don't have to step in any cowpies.

Thank you my friend

It's my pleasure.  Hope you have a wonderful week.

Keep that up and I reckon the dogs will go out on strike

Nice job
