cattle driver
Ranch hand herding
A cattle driver is a person who moves cattle from one place to another, typically on horseback over long distances.
The term evokes the American West, where drivers moved herds along trails to railheads or grazing lands: The cattle drivers pushed the herd north to Abilene.
The work was grueling, lasting weeks or months on the trail.
