At Dixie Drone Surveys, we understand that livestock represent both livelihood and legacy. Regular inspections are critical for maintaining herd health, preventing loss, and protecting your investment. Traditional ground checks can take hours and may not always reveal hidden problems — especially across large or rugged properties.
Drone technology allows us to see what might otherwise go unnoticed. From isolated animals to damaged fencing, our aerial perspective provides a faster, safer way to monitor conditions without putting strain on you or your crew.
When livestock go missing or emergencies arise, time is critical. Our ability to cover large areas quickly increases the chances of successful recovery while reducing stress on both animals and owners. Instead of searching blindly, you gain precise location data and clear direction.
We do this work because we understand the responsibility that comes with caring for animals. Our mission is to support farmers and ranchers with reliable, efficient aerial solutions that enhance safety, improve oversight, and provide peace of mind when it matters most.
Routine Herd Inspections
We conduct aerial livestock checks to quickly assess herd distribution, movement patterns, and overall condition across large properties.
Injured or Downed Animal Location
Our drones help locate livestock that may be injured, stuck, or separated from the herd — especially in wooded, hilly, or hard-to-access areas.
Escaped Livestock Recovery Assistance
If animals breach fencing or wander beyond property lines, we deploy drones to track movement and pinpoint their exact location for faster recovery.
Storm & Emergency Assessments
After severe weather events, we inspect pastures, fencing, and livestock from above to quickly identify damage or missing animals.
Fence Line & Infrastructure Inspection
We survey fence lines, gates, and containment areas to detect breaks or weak points that could lead to escapes or safety risks.
Large Acreage Livestock Searches
For expansive farms and ranches, our aerial coverage allows us to scan acres in minutes — dramatically reducing the time and labor required for full property checks.
How We Approach Surveying
Situation Assessment & Planning
We begin by discussing your property layout, herd size, terrain conditions, and immediate concerns. This allows us to create a focused flight plan tailored to your needs.
Strategic Aerial Deployment
Our licensed drone pilots execute carefully planned flight paths to ensure thorough coverage while minimizing disturbance to livestock.
Real-Time Monitoring & Location Marking
During the flight, we monitor live footage to identify animals, detect issues, and mark exact GPS coordinates if recovery is needed.
Clear Reporting & Ongoing Support
After the inspection or recovery operation, we provide clear visuals and actionable insights. We remain available for follow-up flights or continued monitoring if necessary.
