A sheep is a clueless animal. They have no sense of direction. They do not know where they are going. That is why they need someone to tend them towards the green pasture. That role is attended by the shepherd.
Despite their cluelessness, sheep have excellent visual and audio-memory. They recognize the voice and face of their shepherd. They remember and follow their handler. When two flocks of sheep were mixed, their corresponding shepherds can easily separate the two flocks just with their voice.
However, in a flock, there is always what we call "Black Sheep". This is the sheep who always wander away from the flock. The technique shepherds use to discipline this black sheep is breaking the sheep's leg.
Yes! He breaks the sheep's leg, uses splint to immobilize the broken bones, hand-feeds him and carry him on his shoulders while his leg heals.
The sheep tends to be dependent on the shepherd. When the leg is healed and the sheep was able to walk again, the sheep would remain by the shepherd's side for the rest of his life.
