You fly the drone. We report the findings.

Livestock Counting & Location

Thermal finds what the eye can't and RGB confirms what it found — stock counts across large or wooded ground, missing animals located, lambing and calving checks without disturbing the herd.

RGB + THERMAL

What we check for

  • Stock counts across the surveyed area, including wooded or bracken cover
  • Each thermal signature cross-referenced against its RGB frame before it is counted
  • Discrepancies against the expected herd/flock count
  • Location of any animals separated from the main group
  • Lambing/calving activity where visible
  • General distribution across the holding at time of flight

An example of what you get back

Every finding in every report follows the same structure — location, frame reference, affected area, confidence, probable cause and recommended action, rated Red / Amber / Green. Here's a worked (illustrative) example from this survey type.

Finding 1: Count Discrepancy Against Expected Herd Size

LocationWhole holding, all fields flown
Frame referenceThermal pass, full holding
Estimated affected areaN/A — count finding
ConfidenceHigh
Severity rating (RAG)AMBER

Observation: 134 animals counted against an expected 138. Four thermal signatures consistent with sheep-sized animals were located in the wooded corner of Field 9, separate from the main flock.

Probable cause: Consistent with animals having strayed into cover rather than being missing from the holding.

Recommended action: Check Field 9 wooded corner and boundary fencing in that area.

How the RAG rating works

Every finding on every survey type is rated against the same published definitions, so a Red on one job means the same thing as a Red on the next.

● RedA live risk of water ingress, structural risk, or a safety hazard — flagged for prompt action.
● AmberLikely to progress to failure if left unaddressed, but not currently causing a problem.
● GreenCosmetic or early-stage — worth recording, not urgent.
