A farmer moves livestock through a gate, calling out individual animals by name like George and Alice. The herd flows like city traffic, pausing and starting naturally, organizing itself without turning back.

Come here. Good boy. Let's just take about 3/4 of these. George? Okay, slip up there to the front to bend those around, Alice, so we go in the gate. Come here. Here we go, step up into him. Yeah, we're going just like traffic in a big city and taking off from a red light. She's back here standing until we get enough room, and then we pick up and go. We'll look up here and see what happens when she comes on down. We're up there. They're going in by themselves. Now we've got up here close enough to these on the back to see the flow. You know, it's like nothing's turning back.
