how do you think did early man become herders?
i think like this...They did not have much knowledge of animals that time.They must have found some goat or cow or sheep or dog.some must have killed them and thus they became unsuccessful,while,on the other hand,some men must have kept it with them by providing them food and shelter.in return ,as we all know,cow gave and goat gave milk,the dog guarded their house and sheep gave them wool.so then they understood the value of animals and so they started herding them(this is my way of thinking.
