Französisch Begriff oder Satz: **dans le cheptel**

I would like to know how to translate this term from French (Quebec) into English in the following context.

Je pouvais pas continuer tout seule, qu’il me dit, il fallait que je sois "protégée" et lui ne pouvait plus. Je serais mieux **dans le cheptel** - excusez encore le mot - d’un caïd du milieu qui saurait me faire gagner de l’argent vite. De l’argent, j’en avais bien besoin pour la drogue quand le travailleur de rue m’a laissé tomber à son tour, j’ai accepté la "protection" du pimp.

Richard Benham: 6:46am Jan 19, 2007: If you want to know how to translate this into English, why do you only want to hear from native speakers of French? Do you think we don't know what the term "cheptel" means?

in the harem

Erklärung:
A different image, but one that may be more immediately obvious than trying to match a more directly related word to "cheptel" (which is related to the word "chattels").

[this concerns a computer game, but the terminology might be general, if you are in the milieu]
In the final stages, the only recourse for a pimp to continue growing is to assume a very aggressive stance. Peaceable pimps won't make it to the top; they'll be continually struggling to keep up the size of their harem. Only a hitting pimp gathering huge flocks of hoes will be able to generate the income required to buy the expensive prestige items.

[here we have both "herd" and "harem"]
Slang terminology has dominated conversations, and some terms tend to be misused and incorrectly labeled.
So, I have taken it upon myself to provide you with my definitions of the following terms: slut/ho and player/pimp, both sets of terms being one in the same.
Consider this question while you read: Why is it that women consider the term “ho” the ultimate insult and men consider the term “pimp” the ultimate compliment?
For the record, you men cannot coin yourselves as “true playas,” simply for gelling your hair, blackening another dude’s eye, bling-blinging all the way to Sing-Sing and ordering from the top shelf at a bar.
A pimp/player has more than money, style and a hot girlfriend.
A synonym to the term is harem.
Write that down.
There are two types of pimps: the ones with harems who are proud (typically considered as the enemy by the opposite sex) and the ones with harems who deny it and lie (considered game).
Let’s throw out the technical definition of a harem, rooted back to the Egyptian sexual culture. Let me explain to you the 2003 definition of a harem: a man who has a herd of unsuspecting women at his disposal
