herdswomen
Female cattle keepers
Herdswomen is the plural of herdswoman, a female person who tends and manages livestock such as cattle, sheep, or goats.
The term parallels herdsman but specifies female gender, though in contemporary usage the gender-neutral herder or herders is increasingly preferred.
The herdswomen guided their flocks across the mountain pastures each summer.
