musterer

Rounds up animals

A musterer is someone who musters—gathers or assembles people, animals, or things.

The term appears most often in Australian and New Zealand English for a worker who rounds up livestock, especially sheep or cattle on large stations: The musterers brought the flock down from the high country.

Elsewhere, musterer occasionally describes anyone who assembles or mobilizes: a musterer of volunteers.
