herds
Drives the flock
Herds is the plural of herd—groups of animals that move and feed together: herds of cattle, herds of elephants.
The word extends to crowds of people, often dismissively: herds of tourists clogged the streets.
As a verb, herds means to gather or drive animals, or to move people in a group: She herds the kids into the car every morning.
