I have read the fascinating book by Ralph Whitlock called A Victorian Village. In it he mentions that all the sheep and all the cows would be watched over during the day by the village shepheard or cowheard.
I did make me wonder how did people identify their own animals before the days of multi-coloured dyes:conf:
not sure if this is actually research. Feel free to move to general if more appropriate.
