Moving away from physical field and farm boundaries is an interesting concept.  See excerpt below:

 

Grazing sheep are being fitted with collars to help them create nesting environments for threatened birds.

This keeps them grazing within “invisible” fences, where the animals can create clear spaces for ground-nesting birds to live.
