Some [[companion]]s had at least some level of [[knowledge]] about sheep herding. According to one account, which may have been a dream, [[Jamie McCrimmon]] stopped travelling with the Second Doctor to become a [[shepherd]] in [[Yorkshire]] after [[Zoe Heriot]] went into a [[coma]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Dream a Little Dream for Me (short story)|Dream a Little Dream for Me]]'') [[Dog]]s were integral to sheep herding. In fact, [[Peri Brown]] once noticed a herd of sheep running down a [[dog]] on the island of [[Dorsill]], which made her think that something was amiss on the island.

The disappearance or death of sheep was often an indicator of much bigger trouble. The [[Seventh Doctor]] and [[Ace]] initially went to the town around the [[Graystairs]] [[Alzheimer's disease]] treatment centre to investigate sheep disappearances. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Relative Dementias (novel)|Relative Dementias]]'') On another occasion, in the [[Welsh]] village of [[Llanfer Ceiriog]], they saw a sheep being taken by a [[wolf]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Cat's Cradle: Witch Mark (novel)|Cat's Cradle: Witch Mark]]'') In [[1936]], [[Harry Sullivan]] was falsely accused of being a [[werewolf]] who attacked an [[English]] village's sheep population.

During his time in the [[Death Zone]], {{Ainley}} tricked several [[Cybermen (Mondas)|Cybermen]] to their deaths when they walked through one of the obstacles in the [[Tower of Rassilon]]. When [[Tegan Jovanka]] felt this was ruthless even by his standards, he compared it to when humans drove sheep across minefields during wartime.
