Fig. I. —Goats Herded in a Compact Band. 



When goats are trailed over the range in a compact band much feed is wasted through trampling, 

 the goats are kept in medium or poor condition, normal growth is hindered, and loss from 

 crippling and straying often results. 



Fig. 2— Goats Grazing Quietly Under Loose Herding. 



When goats are grazed quietly and are widely distributed over an area of about one-half mile in 

 diameter, the forage is conserved, trailing and loss are reduced, and the goats are given a 

 chance to make normal growth.
