Herding Sheep with a DRONE in ICELAND | Réttir
ฝัง

- Every september there is an event happening in Iceland called réttir. It's gathering of the sheep from the mountains back to their farms. Farmers go on horses and bring them to these structures that are usually round or oval and each farmer has his own place where he can take his sheep from the whole crowd. They recognize them by their tags in the ears, sometimes by the ears that were cut in a specific way when they were born.
This video is about a smaller réttir, since our farm doesn't need to send sheep to the mountains - we have enough space on the property. But it's a look inside how réttir looks like. We have maybe a total of 200 sheep but it still takes a lot of effort to take them all since they scramble all around different corners of the property as they are roaming freely the whole summer.

You might think it's boring, but for someone who does not see this kind of thing every day, it is really interesting. Glad you have found a way to make your job easier with technology.
Your channel is so underrated. Keep it up.! Since this week I‘m also working on a farm (dairy farm) in Iceland and it‘s just amazing
Thank you! And good luck on the farm 👨🌾
I love the drone shots 😊
Thank you for the videos Petr :) It's very useful for me to watch these videos about my soon to be new homeland :) Im moving there very soon :)
Glad you like them! Hope you enjoy your new life in Iceland 😊
@@PetrHerold Thanks! :) Have a great day/night Petr and i hope you all the best things in life! :)
Krækiber with skyr! one of the best things I had when I was a child . Definately recommend it. You can also roll them in a bit of sugar and freeze them if I remember correctly, perfect snack/candy :)
And using the drone for sheep herding, works like a charm I see! Work smarter, not harder is the thing ;)
Thanks for another great video, appreciate your effort.
Ahh great tips! So many uses for krækiberja 😅 thank you!
I like your videos, especially with being from Iceland my self. I think more people should watch this, its great content.
Thank you for your kind words! Glad you enjoy my videos ☺️
I wish if I could visit this place in my life. I liked the place too much, and thanx for recording such breathtaking videos Petr, stay blessed (Love form Pakistan
... or borrow a sheep-herding dog, they can be very talented and gentle! Expensive though...
I worked once with a shepherd dog and it was amazing, he was doing exactly what I needed him to do. Unfortunately we don’t have one ourselves but it’s a great help.
Krækiber (Crowberries) make awesome saft! The berries have some slight bitter compounds that counterintuitively make for it very refreshing and thirst-quenching.
Usually people put sugar in the saft (300-400g/L) to preserve it for longer (and also sometimes vínsýra/tartaric acid) and then dilute it when drinking it but I feel the less sugar the better, you can just store it in a freezer.
That’s a good idea! I’ll try that, thanks for the tip :)
Very nice video! I like your sort of more slow style of making videos very much. I think it also fits the ambience of Iceland.
I hope that I am able to return to Iceland one day and experience the fresh and windy air along with all the green landscape all around and the sheeps.
But for now your videos along with my memories and imagination are really the closest it can get to that. Thanks, Petr!
Thank you! These comments mean a lot and I’m glad I could bring at least a little bit of Iceland to you :)
Why not use border collies to herd sheep in Iceland?
Some people do but I haven’t seen too many. I asked some farmers and they said it’s too much effort to raise, train and keep a dog. Especially when you need him to herd sheep only once a year.
