How they are doing it down under - NZ has some of the most "sensible" rules for UAV's and are putting them to good use.
With a review of the Line of Sight rules underway there is hope those will be relaxed.

That's a lot of sheep.
I saw one very busy Shepherd dog in the middle of all that.
What part of the mustering was the drone doing other than providing photos and possibly an FPV view of the whole thing.
Actually makes me wonder if you can put radio collars (or possibly even FPV) on the dogs, not that they seem to need much human intervention.
(My Australian Shepherd already thinks he's smarter than me anyway).
