oxherd
Tends the bovines
An oxherd is a person who tends oxen—the cattle used as draft animals for plowing and hauling.
The term is archaic in English but appears in historical texts and translations of Asian literature, where oxherding scenes carry spiritual symbolism: The Ten Oxherding Pictures depict stages of Buddhist enlightenment.
