Herding in Neot Kedumim

Neot Kedumim is a "biblical reserve" in Israel where we learned about the Bible life, hands-on. This included learning how to heard goats and sheep.





We learned some pretty good leadership skills from this herding experience:
- Do not bother trying to push the goats/sheep to get them to move or stay with the pack. It won't work.
- Hitting them does not work either.
- Lead from the back.
- If you are scared or confused, the pack will do their own thing.
- Be firm and know what you are doing. They can sense it. They'll go where you lead them.
