drover's
Livestock driver's possession
Drover's is the possessive form of drover, a person who drives livestock, especially cattle or sheep, over long distances to market.
The term appears most commonly in place names and business names evoking rural heritage, such as Drover's Inn or Drover's Rest.
In Australian English especially, drover's dog has become a fixed phrase meaning someone or something of minimal competence, as in the political quip that a drover's dog could win this election.
