"Me? I think a bellwether's the same as any other sheep, only more so. A little hungrier, a little faster, a little greedier. It wants to get to the feed first, to shelter, to a mate, so it's always out there in front.
"Not a lot ... Just a little bit, so they don't even know they're being led. And the bellwether doesn't know it's leading."
-Shirl,
Bellwether, Connie Willis, 1996
