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

The noun 'sheepherder' is a common gender noun, a word for a male or a female who tends sheep.

The gender specific noun for a male who tends sheep is shepherd.

The gender specific noun for a female who tends sheep is shepherdess.

The noun '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.
