stockwomen
Women tending livestock
Stockwomen is the plural of stockwoman—a woman who raises or tends livestock, particularly cattle or sheep on a ranch or station.
The term is most common in Australia, where vast pastoral properties require skilled workers to manage herds: The stockwomen rode out at dawn to check the fences.
