The parable of the Good Shepherd and similar things appear in the

wars from breaking out between the Jews who raised cattle and the Jews
who raised sheep.

Wales is as wet as it gets and they have far more sheep than people
and quite a lot of cattle. No range wars but there are a lot Range
Rovers.
