Everything about Herding totally explained
Herding is the act of bringing individual animals together into a group (
herd), maintaining the group and moving the group from place to place—or any combination of those. While the layperson uses the term "herding", most individuals involved in the process term it
mustering, "working stock" or "moving".
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
wolves and
dogs have instinctive herding abilities. Herding can also be done using wire through which electricity is sent.
Herding is used in agriculture to manage domesticated animals. The people whose occupation it's to
herd or control animals often have
herd added to the name of the animal they're
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.
Reindeer husbandry is also practiced by
Sami people.
