sheep flocks
Grazing pastoral groups
A sheep flock is a group of sheep kept together, typically under the care of a shepherd or farmer.
The phrase is somewhat redundant since flock already implies sheep more than any other animal, but it appears when emphasis or clarity is needed: The sheep flocks grazed across the hillside.
In biblical and pastoral contexts, sheep flocks carry connotations of guidance and protection.
