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....)
