Description
In Agents.jl we have spent considerable development effort optimizing functions that pick a "random nearby thing" but these aren't used here anywhere even though picking a "random nearby thing" is an extremely common ABM programming pattern.
Maybe we can use the random nearby in the wolf sheep model?

Research direction
Read WolfSheep/Agents/WolfSheep.jl around line 78 and compare the current nearby-selection logic with Agents.jl's random_nearby API. Confirm the intended helper usage and run the repository's relevant model or benchmark checks; done means the wolf-sheep model uses random_nearby as requested without changing its behavior.
