Herding tales

The great thing about goats is that you don't need to herd them. They want to follow you - so all you have to do is go and call them and they come running. So you pull them in with a song rather than push them along with a shout which is how you herd most animals.

This technique works every time - except when it doesn't - which is usually when you most want them to go somewhere.

I need to practice calling the goats in. I aspire to this: (thanks to Pedi).

That should do it - brilliant idea! I'm told practicing with a hot potato in your mouth gets great results...
