Next is the benefit of Disobedience

So yes many might think that the sheep are the best as they do what is told, yet they still haven't learned to be a sheep dog (as in the film also) as then you assist the farmer or shepherd.

Goats will though...
Though they are disobedient always, when kept with sheep, it causes the sheep to see this, sheep then will either follow the goat, as it is greedy as mentioned.
Else it will see the trouble the goat gets into on its own path and decides to stay and eat in the field and stay out of trouble, instead.

Yet in saying that I also remembered many farmers and shepherds comments of that, it is far easier to keep goats then sheep.
As you can leave goats and as long as they are secure, they will learn and take care of them self's.

Sheep on the other hand take constant care and nurturing else they die very quickly with things like:
Having to much wool,
Having to much food,
Having to much freedom,
Having babies and needing constant extra care off the farmer. The farmer often needs to do the sheep's job for it, on many occasions, whilst it's babies are young.
Calling to age, a sheep must be sheared to remain healthy (told to add)
(I may add to that list later when instructed....)

Next (I have been told) is misjudgement

So in this one goat will observe and address the situation to see what to do to get out of it, more then a sheep will.. I was reading up on the whole thing and what pops into my head is how a farmer had written how his goats would often climb up a number of different buildings, to get up on to it and sunbath on the barn roof.
In other words goats are tricky to look after as they will explore new territory, yet also they observe and are good at getting them self's out of a mess they get them self into.

Now as I started with the overeating sheep following goats..this is where the big difference comes as a sheep may find way out of mess, through panic alone, its head goes out of the window and fear sets in...
They don't trust that the owner will have thought of this, and built the land to contain the sheep.
Yet feel they have no hope and basically wait to die because of fear.

Put a goat in this situation and it will survive, it will make a mile stone (told to say) that it uses as a back track, watch it on a mountain how it will resort back to its original point to find a way off. (I am not sure if that is right, yet was told to write that and shown how it works also as writing it; I do love God; God is so cool when then happens, it's like a movie.)
(Also this is maybe why I referred to my self as a kid to begin)

Next is over eating.

Sheep are greedy and will eat too much if given the opportunity and die from eating to much; goats won't and just nibble.

So all these who say yes I follow God (being the owner of the land we all farm in) yet then choose to break into a field of ripe corn and eat it all, think the farmer/shepherd won't be alarmed, what do you think the shepherd will say to the owner who he has to pay, for these crops that have been eaten?

So yes Goats maybe a pain, yet they do understand not to over eat and not break into a field and steal.
As the worst part of it is, that many of the sheep have eaten so much, they are already dead, yet this is their fault and none of the farming team is responsible.

If sheep think they are that clever to follow a goat over a fence that leads to the crops they were told to wait for, and then they choose to eat of that, until they grow fat and pop, the farmer also has many other crops to attended to, so I hope that is understood before they try and get the food at the end of the harvest.

As they were told not to eat it, so they will receive the food that is left after.

On the other hand, the shepherds, the farmers and the owner are ok; as they can always have lamb chops.

Next is fear

You see goats if they don't know what to do will charge you, as I am often finding whilst approaching them on the net. (Quite funny really when you understand it in that perspective)

Sheep on the other hand are more respectful and will back away, yes I am well aware Goats may do the same to begin, and have times where sheep will come and goats won't...

So I best define it some more....

You see if you sit still and patiently with a sheep, it will slowly approach out of curiosity and so will a goat sometimes...

The difference comes if a harsh reality moment comes to either..

A goat will flip they will but things and go mad gnashing their teeth and stomping, all sense goes out of the window with them and seems there blood boils.

Now sheep on the other hand will run in fear if you alarm them and often may die due to the result of shock.

Yet also sheep are easier and can then be tamed due to fear, goats won't they think they always know best.

Yet on saying that some goats also get them self's out of a mess when they get stuck half way up a mountain side on there own.
Even if the farmer does try to stop them they are that daft, they go higher trying to get away...
At least with a sheep if it knows you it can be lulled softly into safety..
