waddie
Cattle driver type
A waddie is a cowboy or ranch hand, particularly in the American West.
The term suggests a working cowhand rather than a ranch owner—someone who does the actual labor of herding cattle and maintaining the range: The waddies gathered around the chuck wagon after a long day.
The word is old-fashioned and regional, mostly found in Western fiction and historical accounts.
