livestock herding
Moving animals collectively
Livestock herding is the practice of moving and managing groups of domesticated animals—cattle, sheep, goats, or similar stock—typically by guiding them across grazing land.
The work may be done on foot, horseback, or with the help of herding dogs.
Livestock herding has been central to pastoral cultures for millennia.
