Maintaining a herd is the specialty of this magnificent woman. The sheep she maintains will have many uses in the future when they are full grown and fat. Although shepherdesses are not naturally hostile, they have great power over all kinds of animals and will lead great armies into battle if their sheep are endangered. Most powerful Shepherdesses posses wide knowledge of nature and under their supervision all crops grow twice as fast. See here for a demonstration of sheep usage.

Summary

The Sheperdess doesn't seem like much, but she is a very popular hero. A mid-level Shepherdess alone can make a person completely immune to pillage attempts because of the vast amount of sheep that are created. It doesn't take any active actions (unlike Total Newbie Handbooks for instance) and sheep are such low net power that even if you have hundreds of thousands of them, if you lose them all in seiges/regulars it's not likely to cost you land.

Unless you are on very low land, you will probably want to stack these 11th (or lower) as they are low init and stackwipe or die en mass easily, thus negating any pillage protection you were hoping to gain. Paradoxically, low land is probably when you need the pillage protection the most, and keeping 11+ stacks could be difficult. Be careful not to have heroes lead your sheep stacks.

High level Sheperdess will also increase the amount of geld you make per turn slightly, as you can save space on farms.
