flockmaster
Herder of sheep
A flockmaster is someone who owns or manages a flock, typically of sheep.
The term appears in pastoral and agricultural contexts, often in British and Australian usage: The flockmaster surveyed his ewes before lambing season.
It carries a slightly old-fashioned or formal tone compared to shepherd or sheep farmer.
