WATCH: Sheepdog Drone Keeps Sheep in Line
Published at
Hemera/Thinkstock(CARLOW, Ireland) — Drones are making headlines in the U.S. for possibly being able to deliver your Amazon products to your door but in Ireland, the 21st century technology is being used to solve an age-old task: sheep herding.
A video with over 290,000 views on YouTube shows what is billed as the “world’s first drone sheepdog” herding a flock of sheep in Carlow, Ireland.
The video shows the sheep following the drone, named “Shep,” in every direction as it flies just above their heads.
The nearly one-minute video was posted by Paul Brennan.
