Meaning of shareherder | Babel Free

Definitions

One who cares for herd animals owned by someone else, in exchange for a share of the profits or offspring.

Examples

“Other shareherders were not quite as reckless and managed to build up their herds by claiming small losses.”

“However, such arrangements also lead to sub-optimal use of the resource base because the shareherder is less motivated.”

“Shareherding is analogous to sharecropping: the owner of an animal gives it to be cared for by a shareherder, and the animal's progeny are divided between the owner and the shareherder.”
