I think the technology is still useful as it is. I think normally farmers wouldn’t take a sheepdog all the way around the perimeter of a farm like that. Instead they would drive to the part where the sheepdog is needed and do the work there. One would imagine a drone would be useful in this scenario too. I think the main advantage with the current limited range would be for driving animals (something that wouldn’t routinely require high speed or long distances but might take a long time) and more localised surveys. I can certainly imagine eg taking the quad bike to different parts of the farm and just sending the drone up to look at/round up the sheep.
