Land thatlooks afteritself.
Autonomous aircraft that count and move cattle, and the software that turns what they see into decisions. Fewer hours in the saddle, every paddock in the books.
Muster, dawn census
Every head counted at first light.
Three aircraft fly every paddock once at dawn, high enough that the mob keeps grazing. Every paddock gets a head count. Any animal lying down is flagged with a location and a picture, so it is checked first. Open country for now: the aircraft cannot see under canopy.
Muster, the push
A swarm that moves the herd, gently.
One aircraft brings in the stragglers while the others walk the mob through the gate. They work from a live picture of the mob. If the mob breaks into a trot they climb and back off.

Muster to Control Centre
The count lands in the books.
Back on the pads, each aircraft uploads what it saw: head per paddock, the time, the mission. Control Centre checks it against the headcount ledger and raises anything that does not match.

Control Centre, the Farm screen
See the truth. Then decide.
Weigh sessions, moves and treatments become weekly gain per head. Every figure says how it was arrived at, and a mob that was never weighed is listed, not guessed. Kilograms first; dollars last, at the prices you set.

Muster, in development
The boundary, walked all night.
After dark one aircraft flies the fence line on thermal while the other two charge. It checks stock, water and gates, and only wakes you when something needs you. Wild dog detection comes later.

One map. Every tool.
Control Centre owns the map: titles, paddocks, mobs and the headcount ledger. Muster flies that map and writes what it sees back. One sign-in for all of it.
