I have two young longhorn bulls that keep getting into my yard. Inspired by a video on this forum a few months ago of herding chickens with a Spark, I decided to try to here my wandering longhorn bulls with my Spark! In Texas you go big or go home.

The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.
That's why they were we there.?

Awesome but with that tiny "fence" I foresee your flight times going way up ??. Thanks for the laugh!
The electric fence is supposed to be about 3-1/2 feet so calves can go under and get back to their mothers easily, but those two are too big to be doing that. They'll be going to auction in a few months anyway. I really had a lot of fun herding then and making the video.

Very entertaining, SoccerRef. The first bull was keenly aware of the drone early on and didn't react much until you got a little higher and moved toward him. The second bull seemed to largely ignore it until you got close and made a speedy move toward him. Once you got his attention, he complied. Another great use of the Spark. Thanks for sharing.
It was really a lot of fun both "driving" the bulls and producing the video. I also did a video of the ducks on the pond in the background which I'll upload later. I was surprised how close I was able to get without the ducks flying away.

LOL! I think the Spark just agrivated them enough to want to get away from it. Great practice on maneuvering while having some fun. Thanks for the show.

A different excuse to fly your Spark. What ever it takes and you don't have to put your body in danger with the bulls.
A good way to test different drones. I don't think you can do this with a Mavic Mini 
Saw this from my Twitter feed. My longhorn herding solution is less expensive and uses the Spark! What do you think?
