There are collies and there are sled dogs, both bred to work and work wonderfully hard as Human companions.
Understand that three dogs worked as a team in order to place several geese into a mere loop and they were clearly unsure as well.
And there is nothing more welcome than your collie gathering up a herd of errant cattle wandering into your unfenced crop to drive them off. While you simply watch.
We are now entering the age of robotic assisted agriculture and this will take on thye effort of plant husbandry. Cattle husbandry will remain a human enterprise. Simply because cattle are wired to respond to us and our dogs who will also provide warning and protection..
