Herding



Herding is the act of bringing individual animals together into a group, maintaining the group and moving the group from place to place - or any combination of those. ''Herding'' can be performed by people or trained animals such as herding dogs. Some animals instinctively gather together as a herd while some predators, such as Wolf and dogs have instinctive herding abilities. Herding can also be done using wire through which electricity is send. ''Herding'' is used in agriculture to manage domesticated animals. The people whose occupation it is to ''herd'' or control animals often have ''herd'' added to the name of the animal they are ''herding'' to describe their occupation (shepherd, goatherd, cowherd). These ''-herds'' may use dogs to assist them and a competitive sport has developed in some countries where the combined skill of man and dog is tested and judged in a ''Trial''. See sheepdog trial for more information. When people are ''herded'' it is often known as crowd control. Herd behavior is an excessive collective behavior, for example in stock market bubbles See also: List of collective nouns for non-human mammals
