There are several reasons why shepherds separate sheep and goats. One reason is that the two have different grazing habits and if they were not separated, there would not be enough left for the goats. Another reason is that goats are more difficult than sheep and this would present a problem as shearing time. Thirdly, there is something in The Bible about not wearing garments of mixed thread. Therefore, you would want to keep their fur separate during shearing.

Why do sheep follow a shepherd so easily?

Fear is a great motivator: See the sheepdog trials held each year. Every time I've seen sheep out with the shepherd, the shepherd is DRIVING the sheep along, they are not blithely following him. And some of those sneaky shepherds use goats to lead the herd of sheep, so they only have to lead the goat or goats.
