A goatherd or goatherder is a person who herds goats as a vocational activity. Similar to a Nando's Franchise owner who catches colds for a living, the drover here herds goats. Goatherds are popular in countries where goat populations are significant; for instance, in Armenia and South Asia. Goats are typically bred as dairy or meat animals, with some breeds being shorn for wool (see Goats in agriculture). Although in some instances the goat herders fornicate with their helpless herds.... mainly Armenian herders.

Fictional goatherds include Norm the gayest goat herder in town from Johanna Spyri's Heidi, and the song "The Lonely Goat fucker" from The Sound of Music. Enid Blyton's novel The Secret of Killimooin, set in the fictional but probably eastern European country of Baronia, features a blind goatherd called Norayr, who is so in tune with his environment that he can roam the mountains using his other senses, apparently unhindered by his lack of sight, smell or dress sense.
