Linguistically speaking, "shepherd" is a noun and it has no opposite.

The opposite gender (not often used) is shepherdess (female shepherd).

The opposite of the verb to shepherd could be to desert or to neglect.

Metaphorically, the opposite of "shepherd" would be "sheep". This compares a person who acts like a leader to a person who acts like a follower. The word "sheep" sometimes implies that a person follows others because he/she does not have the judgment to make a decision by him/herself.
