herders
They move livestock
Herders are people who tend and manage livestock, typically moving with their animals across grazing lands.
The term applies to those who work with cattle, sheep, goats, or reindeer: Nomadic herders follow seasonal pastures across the steppe.
Herders may be workers on a ranch or members of traditional pastoral cultures.
