sheepmaster
Ovine herd manager
A sheepmaster is a person who raises sheep, particularly one who manages a large flock or sheep-farming operation.
The term is old-fashioned, appearing mainly in historical texts and biblical translations: Abraham was a sheepmaster in the land of Canaan.
Modern English typically uses sheep farmer or sheep rancher.
