Missing livestock costs time and money. Our thermal imaging drones locate escaped or lost cattle, horses, and other animals quickly, covering hundreds of acres in minutes. We save you hours of searching so you can get back to work.
When livestock escape or go missing, every hour counts. We understand that time spent searching is time away from your other farm operations. Whether it's a fence break, storm scatter, or individual animal escape, we respond quickly to get your animals located.
Our drones provide exact GPS coordinates when we locate your livestock. No more riding miles of fence line or checking the same pastures repeatedly. We tell you exactly where your animals are so you can send your recovery team directly there - saving fuel, time, and frustration.
Our pilots understand livestock behavior, farm operations, and rural Wisconsin terrain. We know where cattle tend to drift, how horses move when loose, and the challenges of large property searches. This agricultural experience means we search smarter and find your animals faster than someone unfamiliar with livestock.
Every flight is conducted by FAA Part 107 certified pilots with full commercial liability insurance. We operate legally, safely, and professionally on every job
Call or text us immediately when you discover missing livestock. Tell us how many animals are gone, what type they are, and approximately when they escaped. The sooner we start searching, the less distance your animals will have traveled. We understand farm emergencies and will prioritize getting to your location quickly.
Share details about your missing animals: species, number, color/markings, and last known location. Tell us about your property layout, fence breaks, neighboring properties, and terrain features. Let us know if there are specific areas they might head toward (water sources, feed areas, wooded cover). This helps us create an efficient search pattern.
We arrive with professional thermal imaging drones and long-range cameras capable of covering your entire property. Our pilot will review your property boundaries, identify the most likely drift areas based on livestock behavior, and plan flight patterns. We bring extended battery capacity for large property searches without interruption.
We fly high-altitude patterns to scan large areas quickly, then focus in when we detect heat signatures matching your livestock. Our thermal imaging detects cattle, horses, and other large animals from significant distances, even in wooded areas or rough terrain. Once located, we provide GPS coordinates so you can walk directly to them
Stop searching on foot or horseback. Our drones can cover your entire property in a fraction of the time, getting your livestock located and recovered quickly. Every hour searching is lost productivity – let us find them fast.
Thermal imaging cameras detect the heat signature of your animals from the air, making them visible even in dense brush or anywhere traditional line-of-sight fails. We can operate at dawn, dusk, or after dark when many escaped animals are most active but hardest to spot visually. For farmers and ranchers, time lost searching means time away from critical work.
