goatherders

They manage goats

Goatherders are people who tend goats, guiding them to pasture and protecting them from predators.

The occupation is ancient and continues in many parts of the world, particularly in mountainous or arid regions where goats thrive better than cattle.

The goatherders led their flocks up the rocky slopes at dawn.
