corrals

Gathers the herd

Corrals are enclosures for confining livestock, typically horses or cattle, made of fencing or rails.

The verb means to gather animals into such an enclosure, and by extension, to round up or gather people or things: She corralled the kids into the car.

To corral resources or votes is to secure them through effort: He corralled enough support to pass the bill.
