cowpunching
Driving cattle professionally
Cowpunching is the work of a cowpuncher—a cowboy who herds and tends cattle on a ranch.
The term evokes the Old West and the physical labor of driving cattle, sometimes literally prodding them to keep them moving: He spent his twenties cowpunching on ranches across Montana.
