There are not many places in the Anglosphere that had a transhumance culture, and thus a need for shielings and their associated culture and words. So much so that many don’t even know that word. The Scottish Highlands are a notable exception, but they lost that tradition during the highland clearances. Still, I bet there’s a Scots Gaelic word for Almabtrieb. In the meantime “shieling cattle drive” will do.
