herdsmen
Livestock watching workers
Herdsmen is the plural of herdsman—a person who tends livestock, especially cattle or sheep.
The term evokes pastoral life and open grazing land: The herdsmen drove their cattle across the plain.
In historical and biblical contexts, herdsmen often appear as figures of simple, nomadic existence.
