They’d be a decent option if they couldn’t jump over fences. Most of the other domesticated herd animals prior to domestication would avoid trying to jump over a fence, so they could be corralled relatively easily. Even horses that have the capacity to jump would rather not. Deer jump as a primary way to escape predators…which doesn’t fare well for trying to corral them.
