If you are responsible for feeding your herd, they will associate you with the Flock Queen. The herd may attempt to follow you wherever you go and may be in a state of confusion when you are not around.

If you move your herd by driving them from the rear, they will come to think of you as the Top Buck. ... If you hold this position, you may have trouble handling the other bucks in the herd who are constantly challenging your authority.

One of my sons from Romania who had to watch goats so that his father could afford palinka said that this only happens when it is a single herd. When villages send all their goats out together with a herdsman, the goats don't do either of these things.
