Also means
herd
Usage Note
Rebaño most precisely refers to a flock of sheep or goats, but is also used loosely for any herd of animals. Figuratively and often pejoratively it describes a crowd acting without independent thought: el rebaño electoral (the voting herd). The initial r is trilled (like rr) at the start of a word in Spanish pronunciation.
Examples
"El pastor condujo el rebaño al valle."
Natural Translation
The shepherd led the flock to the valley.
