goat herder
Watches grazing goats
A goat herder is a person who tends and manages a flock of goats, guiding them to pasture and protecting them from predators.
The occupation is ancient and remains common in mountainous and arid regions where goats thrive better than cattle: The goat herder led his flock down the rocky hillside at dusk.
