    The sheperdess didn’t particularly seem to be leading them. She was sometimes ahead, sometimes in the middle. Once, she got too far ahead and called to them. I got the impression they knew where they were going and she was there to make sure they didn’t lose focus.

      It sort of sounds like the herd as a whole has been gradually trained and so newcomers just follow the herd, simple in practice but clearly a routine that’s been maintained for several generations?

      I’m only speculating but I think it’s impressive, however it’s done.
