stockgrowers

Livestock farming professionals

Stockgrowers are people who raise livestock, particularly cattle or sheep, for commercial purposes.

The term appears most often in the American West, where stockgrowers' associations have historically wielded political influence over grazing rights and land use: The Wyoming Stockgrowers Association was founded in 1873.
