cattle rancher
Herd owner westward
A cattle rancher raises cattle commercially, typically on a large tract of land called a ranch.
The work involves breeding, feeding, and managing herds for eventual sale, usually for beef production.
Cattle ranching is particularly associated with the American West, Australia, and parts of South America, where vast grasslands support large-scale operations.
The cattle rancher rode out at dawn to check on the herd.
