herd
Stampeding animal group
A herd is a group of animals that move and feed together, especially large mammals like cattle, sheep, elephants, or deer: a herd of buffalo.
The word extends to people acting as a group without much individual thought: herd mentality, following the herd.
To herd is to gather and move animals or people: herding cats describes an impossible organizational task.
