After having made Stoelgang, it is not such a big step to an entire herd anymore. In terms of name, ‘gang’ comes from the gait of a horse, think of trot, pace or canter. I was well acquainted with wild, somewhat uncontrolled jumping animals, because every spring, after a long winter, the cows were allowed to return to the pasture or the first pasture (eerste weidegang). The enthusiasm of the animals at such a moment expresses itself in wild, strange, uncontrolled jumps and movements that you never see in cattle.
