Launch BF: GrazeMate 🤠 | Autonomous Drones to Herd Cows

Brief

GrazeMate, founded by Sam Rogers (YC W26), is developing autonomous drones to herd cattle — marketed as “robot cowboys” that shift livestock between pastures via a one‑button control. The Bookface/YC launch links a demo video (YouTube ID ys0iiO7rc20) and positions the product for ranching operations seeking automated, remote livestock movement.
