A herder is a person who raises animals, usually grazing them on natural pastures. They are often nomadic, moving from place to place in search of food and water for their animals.

Animal husbandry is also a means of livelihood for herders. Pastoralism is a way of life that has been practiced for thousands of years, and it is still an important part of the economy in many parts of the world.

There are many types of pastoralists, depending on the animals they raise and the environment in which they live.
