This sounds like a fun model to implement and play around with:

(Can be done with or without grass as described in the link)

Oh this looks fun! @aidannelson, how similar is this to what you attempted in Nature of Code last year?

Looks fairly similar!

I based mine off of this paper describing a sheep and herding dog agent-based-model. The live version is here and code is here. These agent based systems are super fun to watch! I remember reading further about models which accounted for multiple herding dogs (but could just as easily be hunting animals) working as a pack, but modeled as individuals, which is a super interesting challenge.

For a somewhat more complex model, one might consider letting the wolves and sheep be boids with differents behaviours. Edit: I now realize this is similar to the link above.
