1. 1

    A herd is a large group of animals of the same kind that live, eat, or move around together — like a herd of cows, elephants, or deer. People also talk about 'herd mentality' or 'the herd,' meaning when a lot of people all do or think the same thing just because everyone else is doing it, without thinking for themselves.
