So I was making an animal farm today, and I noticed that when my farm was getting a bit full it was hard to move around, let alone get inside the pen without letting loose one or two cows. I always beat my cows to get them out of my way, but I don't want them to die from the beatings.
What if you could craft a cattle prod (or mob prod in general) to safely get them out of the way? You hit them with it and they jump and run away like usual, but no damage is done.
This could apply to all mobs, hostile or not, but the general idea remains the same. Also it would degrade like every other tool. How it could be made really isn't that important.
Thoughts?

Every tool in the game breaks, from hoe to fishing rod. If being dragged into soft dirt can break a diamond tool then I think poking animals should be able to break a tool.

I think we need a shepherds hook to herd animals, and have it work like wheat they follow you when you have it.
I think it should work like the OP says but it should look like a shepards crook. That would be awesome.
But snowballs work to the same effect and they are pretty easy to farm, especially now that it snows again in taiga biomes.

So falling 480 meters into 6 meters of water is harm free?

No one said anything about superheating, and hell, it could be just a sharp wooden stick for all I care, doesn't have to be metal.
