sheep and goat

In the near East, it is not uncommon to find shepherd's flocks comprised of both goats and sheep. Both animals were tamed very early in history and both animals are a source of milk, meat and fabrics. Both animals mingle together in the same herd, but the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats because of the goat's unruly nature, lust and bad smell, while the sheep are very compliant animals and follow a leader easily.
