Sheep herds are generally referred to as RUMP WRANGLERS.
Better they do it to each other then some poor sheep.
Gay guys in cowboy hats would LOVE to be called that.
I once lived in LA. Lots of cowboy wannabe's strutting around the streets, especially in West Ho-wood waiting to be discovered by a famous producer -- or by some gay guy who might spring for dinner at a 7-11. Disgusting but also sad. The faux cowboys have no identities of their own.
I heard a funny routine on the Late Late show with Craig Ferguson (decidedly not gay) the other night linking James Dean (a dead, probably gay movie cowboy of legendary acting ability) with Jimmie Dean sausage. You can imagine. LOL
