Is shepherd masculine or feminine

Answer 1

In English there are no masculine or feminine forms. English uses gender specific nouns for male or female.

The noun for a female who tends sheep is shepherdess.

The word "shepherdess," is falling out of use in favor of using the noun "shepherd" as a common gender noun (a word for a male or a female).

Answer 2

"Shepherd" is considered a gender-neutral term used to describe someone who herds and tends to sheep. It does not have a specific masculine or feminine connotation.
