I tought sheep herding was a skill known by young (Variof age) orlanthi kids, and has to do with, well, herding sheep. Doesn't animal husbandry, animal medicine and such go under another (several) skills?
I don't have to know how to help a sheep give birth to be able to get them going in the right direction.
