But when a female is good at this job, controling the sheeps and keeping wolves at bay, she risk being branded as a witch and being outcasted. So no sensible woman would take this job up in the middle ages.

Ahh medieval superstitions, gotta love em. That one is almost as good as the one where you toss the woman in a lake, if she floats shes a witch, if she sinks (and probably drown!) shes normal.
